Coding standards
----------------

We use the [LLVM coding standards](http://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html),
with the exception that we do allow 'return' after 'else' if it makes the code
more readable.

Note to contributors: feel free to request more exceptions and we'll list them 
here.

Not all code currently adheres to this standard. Pull requests fixing style
are welcome, and do write new code in the proper style, but please do not
mix style fixes and new functionality in one pull request.

When writing new code, at least run 'make format' to have clang-format fix
some superficial style aspects.

libnethogs
----------

Apart from the 'nethogs' tool, this codebase now also builds as a 'libnethogs'
library. This is highly experimental, and we expect to break source and binary
compatibility while we look for the right abstraction points. Packaging
libnethogs as an independent package is currently discouraged, as the chance
of different applications successfully using the same libnethogs are slim.

Build it with `make libnethogs`, install with `make install_lib` or `make install_dev`.

libnethogs is being used in https://github.com/mb-gh/gnethogs

links
-----

Nethogs monitors traffic going to/from a machine, per process. Other tools rather monitor what kind of traffic travels to, from or through a machine, etcetera. I'll try to link to such tools here. By all means open an issue/PR if you know another:

* [nettop](http://srparish.net/scripts/) shows packet types, sorts by either size or number of packets.
* [ettercap](http://ettercap.sf.net/) is a network sniffer/interceptor/logger for ethernet
* [darkstat](http://purl.org/net/darkstat/) breaks down traffic by host, protocol, etc. Geared towards analysing traffic gathered over a longer period, rather than `live' viewing.
* [iftop](http://ex-parrot.com/~pdw/iftop/) shows network traffic by service and host
* [ifstat](http://gael.roualland.free.fr/ifstat/) shows network traffic by interface in a vmstat/iostat-like manner
* [BusyTasks](http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=143833) KDE Plasmoid script using nethogs as a backend
* [gnethogs](https://github.com/mbfoss/gnethogs) GTK-based GUI (work-in-progress)
* [hogwatch](https://github.com/akshayKMR/hogwatch) A bandwidth monitor(per process) with graphs for desktop/web.
