Martin Stein ed13a0a262 nic_dump: make protocols configurable
Each supported protocol now has an attribute with the name of the protocol in
the config tag. Each of these attributes accepts one of four possible values:

* no      - do not print out this protocol
* name    - print only the protocol name
* default - print a short summary of the most important header values
* all     - print all available header values

Example:

! <config eth="name"
!         arp="all"
!         ipv4="default"
!         dhcp="no"
!         icmp="all"
!         udp="no"
!         tcp="default"
!         ... />

Corresponding output example:

! ETH IPV4 10.0.2.212 > 10.0.2.55   time 7158 ms (Δ 11 ms)
! ETH IPV4 10.0.2.55 > 10.0.2.201  TCP 80 > 49154 flags ' time 6976 ms (Δ 5 ms)
! ETH ARP hw 1 prot 2048 hwsz 6 protsz 4 op 1 srcmac 02:02:02:02:02:01 srcip 10.0.2.212 dstmac 00:00:00:00:00:00 dstip 10.0.2.55 time 7074 ms (Δ 98 ms)

This directory contains ports of popular 3rd-party software to Genode.


Usage
-----

The tool './tool/ports/prepare_port' in the toplevel directory automates the
task of downloading and preparing the library source codes. You can select
individual packages that have to be prepared by specifying their base names
(without the version number) as command-line argument. For example, the
following command prepares both the C library and the Freetype library:
! ./tool/ports/prepare_port libc freetype

To compile and link against 3rd-party libraries of the 'libports' repository,
you have to include the repository into the build process by appending it to the
'REPOSITORIES' declaration of your '<build-dir>/etc/build.conf' file.


Under the hood
--------------

For each library, there is a file contained in the 'libports/ports/'
subdirectory. The file is named after the library and contains the
library-specific rules for downloading the source code and installing header
files.


How does 'libports' relate to the other repositories?
-----------------------------------------------------

Most libraries hosted in the 'libports' repository expect a complete C library,
which is provided with the 'libc' package. Please do not forget to prepare the
libc package when using any of the other libports packages. The libc, in turn,
depends on the 'os' repository for its back end. Because the 'os' repository is
the home of the dynamic linker, libraries contained in 'libports' are safe to
assume the presence of the dynamic linker and, thus, should be built as shared
libraries.
