# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make
# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also customary to
# leave one space after the ':'.

libpcap: A system-independent interface for user-level packet capture.
libpcap: 
libpcap: libpcap provides a portable
libpcap: framework for low-level network monitoring.  Applications include
libpcap: network statistics collection, security monitoring, network debugging,
libpcap: etc.  Since almost every system vendor provides a different interface
libpcap: for packet capture, and since we've developed several tools that
libpcap: require this functionality, we've created this system-independent API
libpcap: to ease in porting and to alleviate the need for several
libpcap: system-dependent packet capture modules in each application.
