network packet capture library -- development files

Wiretap, part of the Wireshark project, is a library that allows one to read and write several packet capture file formats.

Supported formats are:

 * Libpcap
 * Sniffer
 * LANalyzer
 * Network Monitor
 * "snoop"
 * "iptrace"
 * Sniffer Basic (NetXRay)/Windows Sniffer Pro
 * RADCOM WAN/LAN Analyzers
 * Lucent/Ascend access products
 * HP-UX nettl
 * Toshiba ISDN Router
 * ISDN4BSD "i4btrace" utility
 * Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System iplogging facility
 * pppd logs (pppdump-format files)
 * VMS TCPTRACE
 * DBS Etherwatch (text format)
 * Catapult DCT2000 (.out files)

Wiretap's shortcomings are: no filter capability and no support for packet capture.

This package contains the static library and the C header files.
