Netwib is a network library, for network administrators and network
hackers. It provides :
 - network functionalities :
    + address conversion
    + udp/tcp clients/servers
    + packet encoding/decoding/displaying
    + spoofing
    + sniffing
    + etc.
 - and general functionalities :
    + data conversion
    + chained list, hash
    + portable threads
    + etc.
Using all these functions, a network program can be quickly created.

Netwib is available under the GNU LGPL license. It was successfully
installed under Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris.

In order to provide new functionalities, functions prototypes
may vary between versions. So, a program created with version 5.1.0
might not compile with version 5.5.0. To move around this problem, several
versions of netwib can be simultaneously installed on the same system.

Branch 5 is incompatible with branch 4. Branch 5 was written from
scratch. It is quite young and should not be considered as mature yet.
