Gerald Combs 07354a18c1 From Jim Young via bug 4331:
This patch adds a new '-S' option to editcap that will rewrite timestamps of
packets to insure that the new capture file is in strict chronological order.

This option's primary use case is to fixup the occasional timestamps that have
a negative delta time relative to previous packet.

This feature is related to (but does not depend on) capinfos enhancement
submitted in bug #4315 which helps identify tracefiles with "out-of-order"
packets.

Gerald Combs f194916d62 From Jim Young via bug 4049:
This patch adds a new '-o' option to capinfos (enabled by default) to report if
the packets within a particular capture file are in strict chronological time
order or not.

Guy Harris 7a630c61a1 Add a -q flag to dumpcap, to squelch its reporting of the packet count,
and add support for SIGINFO, so, if your OS supports SIGINFO, you can
get the packet count by typing ^T.

Guy Harris 1b444c55fd Refer to the endianness arguments as "encoding" rather than
"representation" - we already use "representation" to refer to the text
representation of fields.

Change some routines with an endianness argument to make it a
representation argument instead;

Guy Harris 72ed0558f2 Don't have -M affect -v yet; if we end up, for example, having dumpcap
being the only program that needs to be linked with *pcap, that's when
we'd want to fetch that information, but there might be other libraries
(e.g., the POSIX capabilities library) that it might be linked with but
that programs that use it aren't linked with.

Don't commit to the output formats of -M, as they are, as noted, subject
to change from release to release.

Guy Harris e3038273ca Don't write the SP_SUCCESS messages unless -Z was specified.
Add support for a machine-readable "-v" output, which prints only the
pcap version string.

Give a little more information about the machine-readable format, but
note that it's primarily intended for consumption by Wireshark and
TShark and is subject to change.

Properly hyphenate "pcap-ng".

Guy Harris 547b9e48a2 The default capture buffer size is, in fact, *nominally* 1MB; however,
libpcap/WinPcap and the capture mechanism atop which they run might
either silently limit the buffer size to a smaller value or raise it to
a higher value - that's the part that's platform-dependent.

Guy Harris fd29d27282 Rename FIELDBASE to FIELDDISPLAY, as it's a "how to display this"
indication, not necessarily a base (the base is "how to display" some
numeric fields, but it's not how to display some other fields).

Note that FIELDDISPLAY is the number of bits in the field containing an
FT_BOOLEAN bitfield.

Guy Harris 500eb99cd9 Add a third date format, ABSOLUTE_TIME_DOY_UTC, to show UTC with the
date as YYYY/DDD, where DDD is a 1-origin day of year.  Move the formats
to a "time_fmt.h" file, included by the headers that use it.  Have
abs_time_to_str() and abs_time_secs_to_str() take the date format value,
rather than a Boolean "show this as UTC" flag, as an argument.  Document
the ABSOLUTE_TIME_ formats a bit better.  Use that format in the CCSDS
and VCDU dissectors, rather than having those dissectors do the
formatting themselves.

Guy Harris 94b8c6433b Rewrite the bit about null vs. non-null "tree" dissector arguments a
bit, so as not to imply that there's some form of global "mode"
Wireshark is in when it passes a null or non-null pointer (there isn't),
and to explicitly note that there is *no* guarantee about the value of
"tree" on the first call to the dissector.  (I.e., please do not build a
mental model of how Wireshark works in that regard, and write your
dissector based on that mental model - you *will* be wrong.)
