From 8cb664bbbbaf3771cc20434cdb6989aa37bf58f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Mon, 8 Apr 2013 13:52:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] man: netsniff-ng: finish usage examples and add filter examples The usage examples are good so far. Most of the things one needs to know. Also, add a short howto on how to use bpfc filtering or pcap-like high-level filters.
