from the frame table - Network Monitor 2.x, at least, doesn't always
write frame N+1 right after frame N.
To do that, we need to mallocate a big array to hold the frame table,
and free it when we close the capture file; this requires that we have
capture-file-type-specific close routines as well as
capture-file-type-specific read routines - we let it the pointer to that
routine be null if it's not needed. Given that, we might as well get
rid of the switch statement in "wtap_close()", in favor of using
capture-file-type-specific close routines, as per the comment before
that switch statement.

hideous problem on FreeBSD 3.[23] (and perhaps other BSDs) if
HAVE_UNISTD_H is defined before "zlib.h" is included, turn "file_seek()"
into a subroutine defined in a file that *undefines* HAVE_UNISTD_H
before including "zlib.h", so that the *only* call to "gzseek()" is made
from a file that does not have HAVE_UNISTD_H defined when it includes
"zlib.h".
Move "file_error()" to that file while you're at it, so it holds all the
wrappers that hide the presence or absence of zlib from routines to read
capture files.
Turn "file.h", which declared those wrapper functions as well as wrapper
macros, into "file_wrapper.h" - it belongs with the "file_wrapper.c"
file that defines the wrapper functions, not with "file.c" which handles
higher-layer file access functions.
Remove the comment in "configure.in" that explained why defining
HAVE_UNISTD_H was a bad idea, as we're not obliged to define it and work
around the problem. (The comment in "file_wrapper.c" explains the
workaround.)

I can now open a RADCOM X.25 capture in ethereal, save it as sniffer, and

both LAPB and PPP captures get written out with that network type.
Flag it as WTAP_ENCAP_UNKNOWN when the file is opened, and, when we see

we flag it as PPP, or anything else, in which case we flag it as LAPB.

gzip. The zLib library is used for this purpose. If zLib is not available
(or it's use is disabled by the --disable-zlib option to configure), you
can still compile Ethereal but it will be unable to read compressed capture
files.
IMPORTANT:
Now all file accesses to capture files should be done through special macros.
Specifically, for any use of the following functions on capture files, replace them.
The arguments for the right-side functions are exactly the same as for the
original stdio functions.
fopen file_open
fdopen filed_open
fread file_read
fwrite file_write
fseek file_seek
fclose file_close

"FDDI with the MAC addresses bit-swapped"; whether the MAC addresses are
bit-swapped is a property of the machine on which the capture was taken,
not of the machine on which the capture is being read - right now, none
of the capture file formats we read indicate whether FDDI MAC addresses
are bit-swapped, but this does let us treat non-"libpcap" captures as
being bit-swapped or not bit-swapped independent of the machine on which
they're being read (and of the machine on which they were captured, but
I have the impression they're bit-swapped on most platforms), and allows
us to, if, as, and when we implement packet capture in Wiretap, mark
packets in a capture file written in Wiretap-native format based on the
machine on which they are captured (assuming the rule "Ultrix, Alpha,
and BSD/OS are the only platforms that don't bit-swap", or some other
compile-time rule, gets the right answer, or that some platform has
drivers that can tell us whether the addresses are bit-swapped).
(NOTE: if, for any of the capture file formats used only on one
platform, FDDI MAC addresses aren't bit-swapped, the code to read that
capture file format should be fixed to flag them as not bit-swapped.)
Use the encapsulation type to decide whether to bit-swap addresses in
"dissect_fddi()".

Get rid of WTAP_ENCAP_NONE; replace it with WTAP_ENCAP_UNKNOWN, which

already done in "libpcap.c").
Check for too-large packet sizes, and return an error (as is already

return 1 on success, -1 if they got an error, and 0 if the file isn't of
the type that file is checking for, and supply an error code if they
return -1; have "wtap_open_offline()" use that error code. Also, have
the per-capture-file-type open routines treat errors accessing the file
as errors, and return -1, rather than just returning 0 so that we try
another file type.
Have the per-capture-file-type read routines "wtap_loop()" calls return
-1 and supply an error code on error (and not, as they did in some
cases, call "g_error()" and abort), and have "wtap_loop()", if the read
routine returned an error, return FALSE (and pass an error-code-pointer
argument onto the read routines, so they fill it in), and return TRUE on
success.
Add some new error codes for them to return.
Now that "wtap_loop()" can return a success/failure indication and an
error code, in "read_cap_file()" put up a message box if we get an error
reading the file, and return the error code.
Handle the additional errors we can get when opening a capture file.
If the attempt to open a capture file succeeds, but the attempt to read
it fails, don't treat that as a complete failure - we may have managed
to read some of the capture file, and we should display what we managed
to read.

wiretap support for RADCOM Ltd.'s WAN/LAN analyzers (see
http://www.radcom-inc.com/
). Note: as I remember, IEEE 802.2/ISO 8022 LLC has somewhat of an SDLC
flavor to it, just as I think LAP, LAPB, LAPD, and so on do, so we may
be able to combine some of the LLC dissection and the LAPB dissection
into common code that could, conceivably be used for other SDLC-flavored
protocols.
Make "S" a mnemonic for "Summary" in the "Tools" menu.
Move the routine, used for the "Tools/Summary" display, that turns a
wiretap file type into a descriptive string for it into the wiretap
library itself, expand on some of its descriptions, and add an entry for
files from a RADCOM analyzer.
Have "Tools/Summary" display the snapshot length for the capture.

That requires that, in the packet-reading loop, we pass to the callback
routine the offset in the file of a packet's data, because we can no
longer compute that offset by subtracting the size of the captured
packet data from the offset in the file after the data was read -
"snoop" may stick padding in after the packet data to align packet
headers on 4-byte boundaries.
Doing that required that we arrange that we do that for "libpcap"
capture files as well; the cleanest way to do that was to write our own
code for reading "libpcap" capture files, rather than using the
"libpcap" code to do it.
Make "wtap_dispatch_cb()" and "pcap_dispatch_cb()" static to "file.c",
as they're not used elsewhere.
If we're using wiretap, don't define in "file.h" stuff used only when
we're not using wiretap.
Update the wiretap README to reflect Gilbert's and my recent changes.
Clean up some memory leaks in "wiretap/lanalyzer.c" and
"wiretap/ngsniffer.c", where the capture-file-format-specific data
wasn't freed if the open failed.

The library exists in its own subdirectory ethereal/wiretap. This patch also
edits all the packet-*.c files to remove the #include <pcap.h> line which is
unnecessary in these files. In the ethereal code, file.c is the most heavily
modified with #ifdef WITH_WIRETAP lines for the optional library.
