+libnethogs
+----------
+
+Apart from the 'nethogs' tool, this codebase now also builds as a 'libnethogs'
+library. This is highly experimental, and we expect to break source and binary
+compatibility while we look for the right abstraction points. Packaging
+libnethogs as an independent package is currently discouraged, as the chance
+of different applications successfully using the same libnethogs are slim.

+libnethogs is being used in https://github.com/mb-gh/gnethogs
