<p><font size=-1>This section is devoted to the internals of the library.&nbsp;
First covered are all the user-accessible functions, then constants, macros
and finally libnet-specific data structures.</font>
<p><font size=-1>Proceeding each function prototype is a small table listing
the return values of the function, whether or not the function is reentrant
(a function is considered reentrant if it may be called repeatedly, or
may be called before previous invocations have completed, and each invocation
is independent of all other invocations) and a brief description of the
function's arguments.</font>

<p><font size=-1>libnet_init_packet() creates memory for a packet (it doesn't
so much create memory as it requests it from the underlying operating system
via malloc()).&nbsp; Upon success the memory is zero-filled.&nbsp; The
function accepts two arguments, the packet size and the address of the
pointer to the packet.&nbsp; The packet size parameter may be 0, in which
case the library will attempt to guess a packet size for you.&nbsp; Passing
in the pointer to a pointer (passing by address) is necessary as we are
allocating memory locally.&nbsp; If we instead passed in just a pointer
(passing by value) the allocated memory would be lost.</font>
<p><font size=-1>This function is a good example of interface hiding.&nbsp;
This function is essentially a malloc() wrapper.&nbsp; By using this function
the details of what's really happening are abstracted so that you, the
programmer, can worry about your task at hand.</font>

<p><font size=-1>libnet_destroy_packet() is the free() analog to libnet_init_packet.&nbsp;
It destroys the packet referenced by 'buf'.&nbsp; In reality, it is of
course a simple free() wrapper.&nbsp; It frees the heap memory and points
`buf` to NULL to dispel the dangling pointer.&nbsp; The function does make
the assertion that `buf` is not NULL.&nbsp; A pointer to a pointer is passed
to maintain interface consistency.</font>

<p><font size=-1>libnet_init_packet_arena() allocates and initializes a
memory pool.&nbsp; If you plan on building and sending several different
packets, this is a good choice.&nbsp; It allocates a pool of memory from
which you can grab chunks to build packets (see next_packet_from_arena()).&nbsp;
It takes the address to an arena structure pointer, and&nbsp; hints on
the possible packet size and number of packets.&nbsp; The last two arguments
are used to compute the size of the memory pool.&nbsp; As before, they
can be set to 0 and the library will attempt to choose a decent value.&nbsp;
The function returns -1 if the malloc fails or 1 if everything goes ok.</font>

<p><font size=-1>libnet_next_packet_from_arena() returns a chunk of memory
from the specified arena of the requested size and decrements the arenas
available byte counter.&nbsp; If the requested memory is not available
from the arena, the function returns NULL.&nbsp; Note that there is nothing
preventing a poorly coded application from using more memory than requested
and causing all kinds of problems.&nbsp; Take heed.</font>

enough space for the packet buf, and pass the neighbors as the "optional

<p><font size=-1>libnet_plist_chain_new() constructs a new libnet port-list
chain.&nbsp; A libnet port-list chain is a fast and simple way of implementing
port-list ranges (useful for applications that employ a list of ports -
like a port scanner).&nbsp; You'll see naive implementations that allocate
an entire array of 65535 bytes and fill in the desired ports one by one.&nbsp;
However, we only really need to store the beginning port and the ending
port, and we can efficiently store multiple port ranges (delimited by commas)
by using a linked list chain with each node holding the beginning and ending
port for a particular range.&nbsp; For example, The port range `1-1024`
would occupy one node with the beginning port being 1 and the ending port
being 1024.&nbsp; The port range `25,110-161,6000` would result in 3 nodes
being allocated.&nbsp; Single ports are taken as single ranges (port 25
ends up being 25-25).&nbsp; A port list range without a terminating port
(port_num - ) is considered shorthand for (port_num - 65535).</font>
<p><font size=-1>The arguments are a pointer to libnet_plist_chain pointer
(which will end up being the head of the linked list) which needs to deference
an allocated libnet_plist_chain structure and pointer to the port-list
(token-list) itself.</font>
<p><font size=-1>The function checks this character port list for valid
tokens (1234567890,- ) and returns an error if an unrecognized token is
found.</font>
<p><font size=-1>Upon success the function returns 1, and head points to
the newly formed port-list (and also contains the number of nodes in the
list.&nbsp; If an error occurs (an unrecognized token is found or malloc
fails) -1 is returned and head is set to NULL.</font>
<p><font size=-1>libnet_plist_chain_next_pair() should be used to extract
port list pairs.</font>
