Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : libpnet6 Version : 0.1.5 Upstream Author : Peter Bozarov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://pnet6.sourceforge.net/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: (C, C++, C#, Perl, Python, etc.) Description : a powerful library for writing cross-platform network applications
Description from the web page: libpnet6 is a powerful library for writing cross-platform network applications. libpnet6 facilitates the writing of professional quality client/server applications in the TCP, UDP, and UNIX domain protocols, offering full support for the IPv4 and IPv6 Internet protocols. In addition, advanced networking functionality such as network inteface access and configuration, and the reading and writing of raw packets on the datalink are also supported. The following is a short overview of the most important functionality offered by libpnet6. As far as possible, this functionality is available on all operating systems which libpnet6 supports. * Protocol independent "standard" sockets API, with full IPv6 support; * Access to IPv4, IPv6, TCP, ICMPv6 socket options; * Broadcasting (with IPv4), and multicasting (both IPv4 and IPv6); * Access to detailed datagram information, such as actual destination address, and the interface a datagram was received on; * Raw socket access, enabling the reading and writing of for example ICMP and IGMP messages as well as direct access to IP datagrams; * IP, IPv6, TCP, ICMP, UDP header manipulation routines; * Datalink access: direct access to raw network packets. Read and write IP and non-IP packets (e.g. ARP and RevARP packets) bypassing the regular protocols stack. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nl_NL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
