! 142: libnet \- A C library for packet creation and injection
! 143: .SH "SYNOPSIS"
! 144: .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
! 145: \&\fB#include <libnet.h>\fR
! 146: .SH "DESCRIPTION"
! 147: .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
! 148: libnet is a packet assembly library that provides a portable interface for
! 149: packet creation and injection.
! 150: .PP
! 151: It is a high-level \s-1API\s0 that allows an application programmer to construct and
! 152: inject network packets. libnet provides a simplified interface for low-level
! 153: network packet shaping, handling and injection.
! 154: .PP
! 155: libnet hides much of the tedium of packet creation from the application
! 156: programmer such as multiplexing, buffer management, arcane packet header
! 157: information, byte-ordering, OS-dependent issues, and much more. libnet features
! 158: portable packet creation interfaces at the \s-1IP\s0 and link layer, as well as a host
! 159: of supplementary and complementary functionality. Using libnet, quick and
! 160: simple packet assembly applications can be whipped up with little effort. With
! 161: a bit more time, more complex programs can be written (\fBtraceroute\fR\|(8) and
! 162: \&\fBping\fR\|(8) were easily rewritten using libnet and \fBpcap\fR\|(3).
! 163: .PP
! 164: When building applications with libnet we recommend using \fBpkg\-config\fR\|(1) to
! 165: detect the precense and required version of libnet. The \fBlibnet\-config\fR\|(1)
! 166: script is still bundled in the libnet distribution, but is considered to be
! 167: deprecated in favor of \fBpkg\-config\fR\|(1). Both can be used to get compiler and
! 168: linker flags of the installed libnet library, as well as provide other useful
! 169: information. For applications using \s-1GNU\s0 autotools, we recommend using the
! 170: \&\s-1PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG\s0 and \s-1PKG_CHECK_MODULES\s0 m4 macros.
! 171: .PP
! 172: \&\fB\s-1NOTE\s0\fR: If you are writing your application with libnet, include \fIlibnet.h\fR,
! 173: which will include any additional header for you, rather than including
! 174: \&\fIlibnet/libnet\-functions.h\fR, \fIlibnet/libnet\-macros.h\fR or any of the others.
! 175: .SH "BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY"
! 176: .IX Header "BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY"
! 177: Your old code (circa libnet \fB1.0.x\fR) \s-1WILL NOT WORK\s0 with libnet> \fB>=1.1.x\fR.
! 178: See \fBdoc/MIGRATION.md\fR for easy steps on porting your old code.
! 179: .SH "SEE ALSO"

! 185: .PP
! 186: libnet has been maintained and extensively enhanced since 2009 by Sam Roberts.
