From what I've seen in the libnet mailing list, the current libnet
package still has documentation and function export issues:
- if that function is only used internally, it should not be exported
in the header file
- the HTML documentation seems to refer to the old API of libnet
- I've later found out that the manpage suggests to create many libnet
contexts if one wants to create many packets at a time; although I
don't really like that idea, there is a documented way of doing it
and many packets can be created without using libnet_pblock_coalesce
- In the mailing list, sandr8 suggests to use libnet_adv_cull_packet(),
however that function is not documented in the manpage, but only as a
short comment in the header file, which doesn't tell how and if the
resulting packet should be deallocated
- In the mailing list, sandr8 and Mike Schiffman suggest using the
context queue interface, for which I haven't found any documented
overview on what its concepts are, but only the single functions
briefly documented in the header file
- Mike Schiffman also talks about initializing libnet with the ADVANCED
interface, but again I only found the LIBNET_????_ADV constants
briefly documented, with no overview on what the advanced mode is and
does
