Could we just use one from libpcap?
Could but since most distro's don't enable rpcapd the header
file is not exported. We could "vendor it".
Is it possible to use your new app without having a full version of
libpcap in the system (that would have this rpcap-protocol.h anyway)? In
"Client Setup" you mention that libpcap must be rebuilt with remote
support enabled, and at this moment our own abridged copy of
rpcap-protocol.h becomes redundant. Our copy allows building the
application in systems where rpcapd is missing or built without the
remote support, but then the build result cannot be used. Am I
misunderstanding something?
