Libpcap0-devel 0.9.1 - Static library and header files for the pcap library.

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 contains the static pcap library and its header files needed to compile applications such as tcpdump, etc.
