This enables the capturing from mulitple interfaces using
tshark and wireshark (at the command line).
(tshark -i lo0 -i en0) or (wireshark -k -i lo0 -i en0)
works. You can capture from multiple remote and local
interfaces.
Based on work from Irene Ruengeler.

is just an indication that the capture child exited; don't treat it as
an error, unless the child process exits with an abnormal status.
As tshark sends a "stop capture" indication to the child when it's
^C'ed, the child will exit and we'll get an EOF from the capture pipe;
don't make SIGINT etc. interrupt system calls, so they don't cause reads
from the capture pipe to get EINTR errors.

monitor mode, when printing the list of link-layer types, indicate
whether they're fetched in monitor mode or not, as tcpdump 4.1.x does.

used for this purpose and using it also prevents the 2 signals the child gets:
- the user's Ctrl-C (which is sent as a SIGINT to both *shark and its
child dumpcap)
- the signal *shark generates to shut down the child
from colliding (and running 2 signal handlers in the child).
It might be possible for tshark to not send the signal at all when it gets
SIGINT, but it doesn't do any harm now.
Also, do not call g_log() within the signal handler: doing so can cause
aborts (if g_log is being called by the process when the signal comes, the
2nd entrance into g_log is detected as a recursion).

substitute our own (I wrote them all, so I can steal them from the
BSD-licensed libpcap if I want :-)). This means that
linktype_name_to_val() and linktype_val_to_name() are always available,
and we don't need to #ifdef use of them.
Use pcap_datalink_val_to_description() to get the description for a
particular DLT_ value, rather than mapping the DLT_ value to a
WTAP_ENCAP_ value and getting the description for the latter.

capinfos and dumpcap don't need to depend on libwireshark nor directly pull

1. Clean up dumpcap 'as a child' err msg handling so that:
- all err msgs are properly formatted when being sent
back to the parent.
- any log Critical, Warning, etc messages
are sent back to parent and are properly formatted.
2. Change handling of -w <...> slightly in capture_opts.c
so that wireshark provides a good error message if
there is a 'write permissions' issue on the file.
(Previously the error popup said only
"Child exited with status 2").
This fixes bug #2288.

I've also changed the way the secondary error message is transported from former "header message 0 secondary 0" to "header header message 0 header secondary 0" as that might be a bit more clearer, and I'll need it for further development anyway.
I was using this while debugging and not recognizing the real problem - for about four hours :-(. I'll need this feature when doing the interface (and link layer type) browsing later (transferring this data from dumpcap to Ethereal) to get a full blown privilege seperation.

primary and secondary error messages and let the parent worry about how
to display them. This means dumpcap doesn't need stub routines for
generating the formatting tags for the primary and secondary messages.
Have a separate message for capture filter errors, so that the parent
can check whether the capture filter looks like a display filter and
report the appropriate message. This means that dumpcap doesn't need a
stub routine for compiling display filters (a stub routine also means
that Ethereal won't do the check for capture filters that look like
display filters!).

file, strip off the last component to get the pathname of the directory
containing the executable file, and save it for future use. On Windows,
you can get that from the OS, but, on UN*X, you have to look at argv[0]
and derive the absolute path from that (argv[0] is not guaranteed to be
an absolute path, or even a path at all). (In addition, if you're
running from the build directory, you might have to strip off a ".libs/"
added to argv[0] as an artifact of the libtoolizing script.)
Use that in the About dialog, and use it to construct the path of
dumpcap.
Don't put quotes into the path of dumpcap; you don't have to quote
strings with spaces in them when handing them to execvp and, in fact,
you *mustn't* quote them, as the quotes will be treated as part of the
pathname.

using dumpcap as the capture child for Ethereal.
dumpcap is a plain console application now, even for Win32 (so no WinMain, create_console and special piping stuff reguired). The undocumented command line option -Z will switch dumpcap into "child mode", using binary instead of plain text output messages to communicate with a parent Ethereal.
Ethereal's main.c no longer needs to distinguish between child mode or not, so some simplifying here.
capture_sync.c has to call dumpcap in a "hidden window" mode using CreateProcess instead of spawnvp, otherwise an uggly console window would appear. The handles created by _pipe doesn't seem to be inheritable for this function, using CreatePipe instead.
The file capture_loop.c is only needed by dumpcap, removed from Ethereal link objects.
Some debugging aid added and other minor cleanup done.

This way, the capture child don't need to now any of the packet_counter things (no epan/packet.h and all alike).

Add a #define for that message size, and have it be 4096, for now, as

When displaying an error message from the capture child, don't use it as

with "%s".

to do this, I've added file_util.h to wiretap (would file_compat.h be a better name?), and provide compat_macros like eth_open() instead of open(). While at it, move other file related things there, like #include <io.h>, definition of O_BINARY and alike, so it's all in one place.
