/* To write a new sendip module:
 * * mail mike@earth.li to check that nobody else is already working on the
 * same thing.
 * * copy dummy.c and dummy.h
 * * replace dummy with the name of your module throughout
 * * In <your_module>.h:
 *    - fill in the struct foo_header with all the header fields in your
 *      module's packet.  If the packet is a variable length, only put the
 *      common bits here and use additional structs for other bits, if needed.
 *      Be very careful about introducing byteorder dependencies.  See ntp.h
 *      for a simple case of how to do it.  In general, things smaller than
 *      16 bits are problematic, use the __BYTE_ORDER macro and test against
 *      __LITTLE_ENDIAN, __BIG_ENDIAN.  Always have a #else catchall with a
 *      #error in, just in case.
 *      Every field should be a u_int*_t or an int*_t to avoid things being
 *      differnt lengths from you expect.  Use these rather than equivalent
 *      ones as these will exist everywhere that sendip compiles.
 *    - create a list of #defines FOO_MOD_*, one for each header field that
 *      may be modified.  The first should have value 1, the rest should be
 *      1<<x for increasing values of x.
 *    - fill in the foo_opts array for all the options your module supports.
 *      Each entry has the format:
 *      {opt_string,arg,description,default}
 *      opt_string is the option that is used to set it, EXCLUDING the -x that
 *      tells sendip which module.  arg is 0 (for no value) or 1 if the option
 *      takes a value (almost always).  description should be a short
 *      explanation of what the option does, and default should be its default
 *      value (as a string, can be NULL if there is no default).
 *    - remove the #error line at the top
 * * In <your_module>.c:
 *    - remove this essay (you can still read it in dummy.c!)
 *    - change the top comment in the obvious way
 *    - find an option character not used elsewhere and replace opt_char with
 *      that.  You can see what is used by doing
 *      grep '^const char opt_char' *.c
 *      in the sendip source directory.
 *    - in the do_opt function, fill in code for all the options you defined in
 *      the header file.  Typically, the code will look a lot like:
 *      case 'option':
 *        header->thing = htons((u_int16_t)strtoul(arg, (char **)NULL, 0));
 *        pack->modified |= FOO_MOD_THING;
 *        break;
 *      If some of your options change the length of the packet, you might want
 *      to take a look in ipv4.c or tcp.c - specifically where they add IPV4 or
 *      TCP options.
 *      Make sure you use htons and htonl everywhere you need to to avoid 
 *      byteorder problems.
 *      -opt contains the option string, including the starting opt_char
 *      -arg contains any argument given
 *      -pack contains our headers
 *    - in the finalize function, fill in anything that needs to be computed
 *      after all the optoins are processed.  This function MUST NOT change
 *      the length or location of the headers in memory, else bad things will
 *      happen.  Typical things that go in here are filling in the length
 *      field of the header if it hasn't been overriden, computing checksums,
 *      etc.  You may also which to check that your packet is enclosed in a
 *      sensible carrier.  tcp.c does all of the things.
 *      -hdrs is build by taking the opt_char for each packet in turn from the
 *      outside in, up to but not including this packet
 *      -headers is an array of all the enclosing headers in the same order
 *      -data contains the data inside this set of headers.  This may include
 *       headers of underlying protocols, that will already have been
 *       finalized.  DO NOT MODIFY IT.
 *      -pack contains our headers.
 *    - You might, possibly, find the following functions useful.  They are
 *      automatically available to all modules:
 *      -int compact_string(char *string);
 *       For strings starting 0x or 0X, converts each pair of bytes thereafter
 *       to a single byte of that hex value.  For other strings starting 0,
 *       converts sets of 3 bytes to a single byte of that octal value.  For
 *       all other strings, does nothing.  Returns the length of the final
 *       string.  This is recomended when parsing arbitrary data (like the -d
 *       option of sendip, -tonum for arbitrary TCP options)
 *      -u_int16_t csum(u_int16_t *data, int len)
 *       returns the standard internet checksum of the packet
 *    - If something doesn't work as expected, or you can't figure out how to
 *      do sometihng, mail mike@earth.li and ask.
 * * In the Makefile add <your_module>.so to the PROTOS line
 * * Test it
 * * Mail it to mike@earth.li, either as a patch or just send the .c and .h 
 *   files you created
