Is the project name an intentional reference to recreational inhalation of toluene vapours (toluene is a component of some glues) #102

hi, thanks for asking!

The name is a reference to network sniffing and glue code, the default is human readable output but there's also a --json flag that generates a json stream of parsed packets. This stream can be easily ingested by other software that wants to process network packets but doesn't want to implement packet parsing. An example of this would be using sniffglue --json in shell scripts together with jq.

I hope this answers your question!
