 *
 * @author Daniel Lawson
 * @author Perry Lorier
 *
 * @version $Id: libtrace.h 773 2006-05-01 12:58:09Z perry $
 *
 * This library provides a per packet interface into a trace file, or a live 
 * captures.  It supports ERF, DAG cards, WAG cards, WAG's event format,
 * pcap etc.
 *
 * @par Usage
 * See the example/ directory in the source distribution for some simple examples
 * @par Linking
 * To use this library you need to link against libtrace by passing -ltrace
 * to your linker. You may also need to link against a version of libpcap 
 * and of zlib which are compiled for largefile support (if you wish to access
 * traces larger than 2 GB). This is left as an exercise for the reader. Debian
 * Woody, at least, does not support large file offsets.
