This directory contains source code for tcpslice, a tool for extracting
portions of packet trace files generated using tcpdump's `-w` flag.

Problems, bugs, questions, desirable enhancements, source code contributions,
etc., should be sent to the [mailing list](https://www.tcpdump.org/#mailing-lists).

### Dependency on libpcap
Tcpslice uses libpcap, a system-independent interface for user-level
packet capture.  Before building tcpslice, you must first retrieve and
build libpcap.

Once libpcap is built (either install it or make sure it's in `../libpcap`),
you can build tcpslice using the procedure in the [installation guidelines](INSTALL.md).
