The 'tee' behavior can be pretty easily emulated, however.
a) use bpfilter - it automatically does a copy type thing.
b) Use a little divert socket program which simply does:
len = recvfrom(divert_socket, packetbuf, sizeof(packetbuf),
0, (struct sockaddr *)&from, &fromlen);
sendto(divert_socket, packetbuf, len, 0,
(struct sockaddr *)&from, fromlen);
do_whatever_stuff_you_want();
Option a will, of course, be faster, since it doesn't involve a copy to
userspace before allowing the packet to continue its normal path. The tee
option would do the same thing, if and when.
