network-packet-linux: Types for working with Linux packet sockets
This is a package candidate release! Here you can preview how this package release will appear once published to the main package index (which can be accomplished via the 'maintain' link below). Please note that once a package has been published to the main package index it cannot be undone! Please consult the package uploading documentation for more information.
network-packet-linux makes it possible to use
the network package
with Linux packet sockets. Packet sockets are described
in packet (7).
Usage
Combine functions from Network.Socket.Address with types from Network.Socket.Linux in order to work with packet sockets.
See the Network.Socket.Linux module documentation or examples/ListenToInterface.hs for an example.
About the package
As of version 3.0.0, the network package provides a socket API that is
implemented in terms of the SocketAddress typeclass.
network-packet-linux provides SockAddrLl, a SocketAddress instance
that corresponds to the sockaddr_ll struct from <linux/if_packet.h>.
Additionally, network-packet-linux provides some convenience types:
ProtocolId (an enumeration of the Ethernet protocol IDs defined in
<linux/if_ether.h>) and PacketType (enumerating the packet types
defined in <linux/if_packet.h>).
Hackage note: The false dependency on `vendored-network` is an annoying
side effect of the way we pull in network files. Ideally the dependency
on network files should be an internal cabal library, but internal
libraries aren't supported for the build style we need.
