Add a new global flag "capture_child", which is TRUE if we're a child process for a sync mode or fork mode capture. Have that flag control whether we do things that *only* the parent or *only* the child should do, rather than basing it solely on the setting of "sync_mode" or "fork_mode" (or, in the case of stuff done in the child process either in sync mode or fork mode, rather than basing it on the setting of those flags at all). Split "do_capture()" into a "run_capture()" routine that starts a capture (possibly by forking off and execing a child process, if we're supposed to do sync mode or fork mode captures), and that assumes the file to which the capture is to write has already been opened and that "cf.save_file_fd" is the file descriptor for that file, and a "do_capture()" routine that creates a temporary file, getting an FD for it, and calls "run_capture()". Use "run_capture()", rather than "capture()", for "-k" captures, so that it'll do the capture in a child process if "-S" or "-F" was specified ("do_capture()" won't do because "-k" captures should write to the file specified by the "-w" flag, not some random temporary file). For child process captures, however, just use "capture()" - the child process shouldn't itself fork off a child if we're in sync or fork mode, and should just write to the file whose file descriptor was specified by the "-W" flag on the command line. All this allows you to do "ethereal -S -w <file> -i <interface> -k" to start a sync mode capture from the command line. svn path=/trunk/; revision=740
