# The net/libpcap port

## libpcap-1.10.6 – packet capture library

## Description

    The Packet Capture library provides a high level interface to packet
    capture systems. All packets on the network, even those destined for
    other hosts, are accessible through this mechanism. It also supports
    saving captured packets to a 'savefile', and reading packets from a
    'savefile'.

    This package provides tcpdump.org's version of libpcap for software
    which is unable to use the standard libpcap provided as part of OpenBSD.
    It is installed to a non-standard location to prevent software from
    picking it up unintentionally.
