------------------------------------------------------------

Netdude is a GUI tool to visually inspect, display, filter
and modify network dump files (that fit in memory), as
produced using tcpdump's -w option.

Requirements:

	* tcpdump, at http://www.tcpdump.org
	* libpcap, also at http://www.tcpdump.org
        * The Gimp Toolkit, at http://www.gtk.org (1.2.x)

To build netdude, check your available build option using

   > ./configure --help

and then build it using

   > ./configure [options]; make; make install

You'll probably need higher privileges for the make install
part, unless you've changed the installation directiories
using --prefix or similars. By default, netdude will live in
/usr/local/bin, the plugins are in /usr/local/share/netdude
/plugins, but you can always find out the directories a
Netdude binary uses to look up plugins in using command line
arguments, see netdude --help.

Look at plugins/netdude_dummyplugin.c for commented versions
of the filter callbacks if you want to find out more about
coding filters.

If you want to build plugins for Netdude, there are code
templates available to make life easier for you. To obtain
them, please visit http://netdude.sf.net/plugins.html .

I've included a spiffy little icon for use with your
favourite file manager in the pixmaps directory,
netdude-icon.png.

Using Netdude should be pretty self-explanatory, it better
be, because it may take a while until I'll have the time to
write decent documentation :)

In the meantime, have fun using Netdude!
