- TODO list for libpcap
-=======================
-
-Important stuff (to be done before the next release)
----------------
-
-General
-
-- configure should not be in the CVS. Most open source projects have an
- autogen.sh script to run autoconf etc. after checkout. I think we
- should stick to the standard.
-
-- The source files should be better documented. There is no official
- design guideline for what is done where. There should be a common coding
- style (okay, you can guess that by looking at the code) and a guide for
- what needs to be documented.
-
-Less urgent items
------------------
-
-- Better documentation and cleanup of the interface. I am seeing a few
- problems at the first glance which needs fixing:
- + pcap_lookupnet makes little to no sense with protocols != IPv4
- + not very well suited for interactive programs (think ethereal). There
- should be a way for the application to get a file descriptor which it
- has to monitor and a callback in pcap which has to be called on
- activity (XXX - "pcap_fileno()" handles the first part, although
- "select()" and "poll()" don't work on BPF devices on most BSDs, and
- you can call "pcap_dispatch()" as the dispatch routine after putting
- the descriptor into non-blocking mode)
- + too many functions. There are a lot of functions for everything which
- violates the KISS principle. Why do we need pcap_strerror, pcap_perror
- and pcap_geterr?
- + the manpage has a brief description of each function but where is the
- big picture? Seems like you need to buy UNP for that...
