ruby-pcap is a ruby extension to LBL libpcap (Packet Capture library). This library also includes classes to access TCP/IP header.
Requirements:
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.
See the documentation under the directory 'doc'. Directory 'examples' contains some simple scripts.
