/**
 * Creates the libnet environment. It initializes the library and returns a 
 * libnet context. If the injection_type is LIBNET_LINK or LIBNET_LINK_ADV, the
 * function initializes the injection primitives for the link-layer interface
 * enabling the application programmer to build packets starting at the
 * data-link layer (which also provides more granular control over the IP
 * layer). If libnet uses the link-layer and the device argument is non-NULL,
 * the function attempts to use the specified network device for packet
 * injection. This is either a canonical string that references the device
 * (such as "eth0" for a 100MB Ethernet card on Linux or "fxp0" for a 100MB
 * Ethernet card on OpenBSD) or the dots and decimals representation of the
 * device's IP address (192.168.0.1). If device is NULL, libnet attempts to
 * find a suitable device to use. If the injection_type is LIBNET_RAW4 or
 * LIBNET_RAW4_ADV, the function initializes the injection primitives for the
 * IPv4 raw socket interface. The final argument, err_buf, should be a buffer
 * of size LIBNET_ERRBUF_SIZE and holds an error message if the function fails.
 * This function requires root privileges to execute successfully. Upon
 * success, the function returns a valid libnet context for use in later
 * function calls; upon failure, the function returns NULL.

/**
 * @section PBF Packet Builder Functions
 *
 * The core of libnet is the platform-independent packet-building 
 * functionality. These functions enable an application programmer to build 
 * protocol headers (and data) in a simple and consistent manner without having
 * to worry (too much) about low-level network odds and ends. Each 
 * libnet_build() function builds a piece of a packet (generally a protocol 
 * header). While it is perfectly possible to build an entire, 
 * ready-to-transmit packet with a single call to a libnet_build() function, 
 * generally more than one builder-class function call is required to construct
 * a full packet. A complete wire-ready packet generally consists of more than 
 * one piece.
 * Every function that builds a protocol header takes a series of arguments 
 * roughly corresponding to the header values as they appear on the wire. This 
 * process is intuitive but often makes for functions with huge prototypes and 
 * large stack frames.
 * One important thing to note is that you must call these functions in order, 
 * corresponding to how they should appear on the wire (from the highest 
 * protocol layer on down). This building process is intuitive; it approximates
 * what happens in an operating system kernel. In other words, to build a 
 * Network Time Protocol (NTP) packet by using the link-layer interface, the 
 * application programmer would call the libnet_build() functions in the 
 * following order:
 * 1. libnet_build_ntp()
 * 2. libnet_build_udp()
 * 3. libnet_build_ipv4()
 * 4. libnet_build_ethernet()
 * This ordering is essential for libnet 1.1.x to properly link together the 
 * packet internally (previous libnet versions did not have the requirement).
 *
 * @subsection TPI The Payload Interface
 *
 * The payload interface specifies an optional way to include data directly 
 * after the protocol header in question. You can use this function for a 
 * variety of purposes, including the following:
 * - Including additional or arbitrary protocol header information that is not 
 *   available from a libnet interface
 * - Including a packet payload (data segment)
 * - Building another protocol header that is not available from a libnet 
 *   interface
 * To employ the interface, the application programmer should construct the i
 * payload data and pass a const uint8_t * to this data and its size to the desired
 * libnet_build() function. Libnet handles the rest.
 *
 * It is important to note that some functions (notably the IPv6 builders) do
 * use the payload interface to specify variable length but ostensibly 
 * non-optional data. See the individual libnet_build_ipv6*() functions for
 * more information.
 * 
 * @subsection PT Protocol Tags and Packet Builder Return Values
 *
 * Libnet uses the protocol tag (ptag) to identify individual pieces of a 
 * packet after being created. A new ptag results every time a libnet_build() 
 * function with an empty (0) ptag argument completes successfully. This new 
 * ptag now refers to the packet piece just created. The application 
 * programmer's responsibility is to save this value if he or she plans to 
 * modify this particular portion later on in the program. If the application 
 * programmer needs to modify some portion of that particular packet piece 
 * again, he or she calls the same libnet_build() function specifying the 
 * saved ptag argument. Libnet then searches for that packet piece and modifies
 * it rather than creating a new one. Upon failure for any reason, 
 * libnet_build() functions return -1; libnet_geterror() tells you why.
