libpcap-devel

Libpcap provides a portable framework for low-level network

monitoring. Libpcap can provide network statistics collection, security monitoring and network debugging. Since almost every system vendor provides a different interface for packet capture, the libpcap authors created this system-independent API to ease in porting and to alleviate the need for several system-dependent packet capture modules in each application. This package provides the libraries, include files, and other resources needed for developing libpcap applications.
