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
