+ngrep strives to provide most of GNU grep's common features, applying
+them to the network layer. ngrep is a pcap-aware tool that will allow
+you to specify extended regular or hexadecimal expressions to match
+against data payloads of packets. It currently recognizes IPv4/6, TCP,
+UDP, ICMPv4/6, IGMP and Raw across Ethernet, PPP, SLIP, FDDI, Token
+Ring and null interfaces, and understands BPF filter logic in the same
+fashion as more common packet sniffing tools, such as tcpdump and snoop.
+
+ngrep is built with IPV6 support by default; to disable it, do this:
+ NGREP_IPV6=no ./ngrep.SlackBuild
+
+A patch is included for IPV4 and IPV6 packet reassembly applied by default.
+The patch adds the -r switch to ngrep. To disable the patch, do this:
+ ASSEM_PATCH=no ./ngrep.SlackBuild
