<h2>Ruby/Pcap extension library</h2>

<p> Ruby interface to <a href="http://ee.lbl.gov/">LBL</a> Packet
Capture library.  This library also includes classes to access
packet header fields.

<p> It is much easier to code in Ruby/Pcap than to code in C and
use libpcap directly.  For example, tcpdump-like (very simple)
script is written as <a href="pcap/examples/tcpdump.rb">this</a>.

<p> Ruby/Pcap needs libpcap.  Latest libpcap
distribution is <a href="http://www.tcpdump.org/">here</a>.
(Original LBL version is <a href="ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/libpcap.tar.Z">here</a>)
  Ruby/Pcap will run in any environment in which both
ruby and libpcap are supported.
