## README

# libslirp

libslirp is a user-mode networking library used by virtual machines,
containers or various tools.

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

A C compiler, make/meson and glib2 development libraries.

(see also [.gitlab-ci.yml](.gitlab-ci.yml) DEPS variable for the list
of dependencies on Fedora)

### Building

You may build and install the shared library with meson:

``` sh
meson build
ninja -C build install
```
And configure QEMU with --enable-slirp=system to link against it.

(QEMU may build with the submodule static library using --enable-slirp=git)

### Testing

Unfortunately, there are no automated tests available.

You may run QEMU ``-net user`` linked with your development version.
