=head1 NAME

libnet - A C library for packet creation and injection

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<#include E<lt>libnet.hE<gt>>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

libnet is a packet assembly library that provides a portable interface for
packet creation and injection.

It is a high-level API that allows an application programmer to construct and
inject network packets. libnet provides a simplified interface for low-level
network packet shaping, handling and injection.

libnet hides much of the tedium of packet creation from the application
programmer such as multiplexing, buffer management, arcane packet header
information, byte-ordering, OS-dependent issues, and much more. libnet features
portable packet creation interfaces at the IP and link layer, as well
as a host of supplementary and complementary functionality. Using libnet, quick
and simple packet assembly applications can be whipped up with little effort.
With a bit more time, more complex programs can be written (L<traceroute(8)> and L<ping(8)> were easily rewritten using libnet and L<pcap(3)>.

When building applications with libnet, the L<libnet-config(1)> script or the L<pkg-config(1)> program can be used to return the compiler and linker flags
of the installed libnet library as well as give other useful information.

B<NOTE>: If you are writing your application with libnet, include F<libnet.h>,
which will include any additional header for you, rather than including
F<libnet/libnet-functions.h>, F<libnet/libnet-macros.h> or any of the others.

=head1 BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY

Your old code (circa libnet B<1.0.x>) WILL NOT WORK with libnet> B<E<gt>=1.1.x>.
See B<doc/MIGRATION> for easy steps on porting your old code.
