This library handles all -the system-dependent details (like managing the devices, interacting with the OS -to manage the adapters, looking for the information in the registry and so on), -and exports an API that is uniform across all Windows OSes. In this way, -applications or libraries based on it can run without being recompiled -under any Windows operating system. </p> -<p>However, not all of the packet.dll API is totally portable: some advanced features, like kernel-mode dump, are present only in the WinNTx version of WinPcap, -while packet.dll for Win9x does not provide them. On the other side, the NTx -version is a superset of the 9x one, in other words all the function present in -the Win9x version are present in WinNTx too.</p> -<p>The other important feature of this library is its ability to handle NPF driver. -Packet.dll transparently installs and starts the driver when an application -attempts to access an adapter. This avoids the manual installation of the driver -through the control panel.</p> -<h2>Important note, read carefully!</h2> -<p>The source code of Packet.dll is freely available and completely documented. -However, packet.dll should be considered an internal API, because its purpose -inside WinPcap is to be a building block for the real public API: wpcap.dll.</p> -<p>As a consequence, since the <b>normal</b> and <b>suggested</b> way for an -application to use WinPcap is through wpcap.dll, <b>we don't guarantee that the packet.dll -API will not be changed in future releases of winpcap, and we don't provide -support for this API</b>. For the same reason, <b>this manual doesn't contain -any more the Doxygen-generated documentation of Packet.dll</b>: the user will -have to run Doxygen on his own to create it, or read the comments in the source -code.</p> - -</body> - -</html> - </div> - -<hr> -<p align="right"><img border="0" src="winpcap_small.gif" align="absbottom" width="91" height="27"> -documentation.
