=========================
* Introduction
ruby-pcap is a ruby extension to LBL libpcap (Packet Capture library).
This library also includes classes to access TCP/IP header.
* Installation
Requirements:
- ruby-1.4.x
- libpcap (http://www.tcpdump.org/)
Compile:
If ruby supports dynamic link of extension module on your OS,
following commands will install ruby-pcap.
ruby extconf.rb [options]
make
make install
You can specify options when you run 'ruby extconf.rb':
`--with-pcap-dir=PREFIX'
Directory where libpcap is installed. Default is '/usr/local'.
If dynamic link isn't available, you can link ruby-pcap statically
with ruby. Extract ruby-pcap under the directory 'ext' in ruby source
tree, then build ruby.
* Usage
See the documentation under the directory 'doc'.
Directory 'examples' contains some simple scripts.
