- Synopsis
- Types for working with Linux packet sockets
- Description
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 thesockaddr_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.
