ether

ether is a crate that provides a library parsing and manipulating network data, packet captures.

NOTE: ether is currently in the alpha phase (API is likely to change).

Documentation

On its way!

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
ether = "0.0.1"

and this to root of your crate:

extern crate ether;

Here's a simple example that prints all packets received on interface en0:

extern crate ether;

use ether::tap;
use ether::tap::Stream;

fn main() {
    let mut tap = tap::Tap::new("en0").unwrap();
    for packet in tap.stream().wait().filter_map(|p| p.ok()) {
        println!("{:?}", packet);
    }
}
