+libnetfilter_log is a userspace library providing interface to packets
+that have been logged by the kernel packet filter. It is is part of
+a system that deprecates the old syslog/dmesg based packet logging.
+This library has been previously known as libnfnetlink_log.
+
+libnetfilter_log is used by ulogd2.
+
+This requires libnfnetlink, which is also available at SlackBuilds.org
+and a kernel that includes the nfnetlink_log subsyste (i.e. 2.6.14 or later).
