# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

libiptc: libiptc (Extra headers and libraries of iptables)
libiptc:
libiptc: It enables programs to communicate with netfilter bypassing iptables
libiptc:
libiptc: Iptables can be used to build internet firewalls based on stateless
libiptc: and stateful packet filtering, use NAT and masquerading for sharing
libiptc: internet access if you don't have enough public IP addresses, use NAT
libiptc: to implement transparent proxies, aid the tc and iproute2 systems
libiptc: used to build sophisticated QoS and policy routers, do further packet
libiptc: manipulation (mangling) like altering the TOS/DSCP/ECN bits of the IP
libiptc: header, and much more.  See:  http://www.netfilter.org
