       libtins v1.3
------------------------------------------------------------------------


-------------------------------- About ---------------------------------

libtins is a high-level, multiplatform C++ network packet sniffing and 
crafting library. 

Its main purpose is to provide the C++ developer an easy, efficient, 
platform and endianess-independent way to create tools which need to 
send, receive and manipulate specially crafted packets.

library, please visit:

------------------------------- Compiling ------------------------------

libtins depends on libpcap and openssl, although the latter is not 
necessary if some features of the library are disabled.

In order to compile, execute:

./configure
make

Note that by default, only the shared object is compiled. If you would
like to generate a static library file as well, run:

./configure --enable-static

The generated static/shared library files will be located in the .libs
directory.

libtins is noticeable faster if you enable C++11 support. Therefore, if
your compiler supports this standard, then you should enable it. In 
order to do so, use the --enable-c++11 switch:

./configure --enable-c++11

If you want to disable WPA2 decryption support, which will remove 
openssl as a dependency for compilation, use the --disable-wpa2 switch:

./configure --disable-wpa2

If you want to disable IEEE 802.11 support(this will also disable 
RadioTap and WPA2 decryption), which will reduce the size of the 
resulting library in around 20%, use the --disable-dot11 switch:

./configure --disable-dot11

------------------------------ Installing-------------------------------

Once you're done, if you want to install the header files and the 
shared object, execute as root:

make install

This will install the shared object typically in /usr/local/lib. Note
that you might have to update ldconfig's cache before using it, so 
in order to invalidate it, you should run(as root):

ldconfig

------------------------------ Examples --------------------------------

directory. The same samples can be found online at:
