Explanation of Directory Content

  • bin contains compiled binaries for pktxpmgr & pktendpt, and a symbolic link to the pktlab_init script.
  • config contains template config files for pktxpmgr and pktendpt.
  • cred contains pre-shipped credentials by the PacketLab team.
  • example_mlets contains sample mlet (measurement applet) binaries, their C source code, as well as an example Makefile to compile them.
  • include contains the header files for libpktlab.
  • lib contains compiled static libraries for libpktlab.
  • setup_aux contains the auxiliary files required to set up the user for the PacketLab software package.

    share/pktlab is only present when building from source and is home to config, cred, example_mlets, and setup_aux.
