From 5bce46bd7561ae1857c7e17614133f01f984ae78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vas Crabb Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2020 21:23:21 +1100 Subject: Removed winpcap and cleaned up network module selection. (nw) The pcap.h header itself has the problematic original BSD license, including the obnoxious advertising clause. Using tap/tun networking on Windows provides a much better experience, so the extra setup is worth it. This patch also allows you to enable pcap on platforms where it's disabled by default with USE_PCAP=1 if you really want to use it. --- 3rdparty/winpcap/docs/html/group__packetapi.html | 87 ------------------------ 1 file changed, 87 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 3rdparty/winpcap/docs/html/group__packetapi.html (limited to '3rdparty/winpcap/docs/html/group__packetapi.html') diff --git a/3rdparty/winpcap/docs/html/group__packetapi.html b/3rdparty/winpcap/docs/html/group__packetapi.html deleted file mode 100644 index d0f5c9ea535..00000000000 --- a/3rdparty/winpcap/docs/html/group__packetapi.html +++ /dev/null @@ -1,87 +0,0 @@ - - - - -WinPcap: Packet.dll -- Packet Driver API - - - - - - -

Packet.dll -- Packet Driver API
- -[WinPcap internals] -

-
- - - - - - - - - - -Packet.dll is a dynamic link library that offers a set of low level functions -to: - -

There are two versions of packet.dll: the first one runs under Windows 95/98/ME, the second -one is for  Windows -NT/2000/XP.

-

Packet.dll was created to provide a layer to access the low level -functionalities of WinPcap in a system independent way. 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.

-

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.

-

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.

-

Important note, read carefully!

-

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.

-

As a consequence, since the normal and suggested way for an -application to use WinPcap is through wpcap.dll, 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. For the same reason, this manual doesn't contain -any more the Doxygen-generated documentation of Packet.dll: the user will -have to run Doxygen on his own to create it, or read the comments in the source -code.
