which could use lseek() and were thus expensive due to system call
overhead. To avoid making a system call for every packet on a
sequential read, we maintained a data_offset field in the wtap structure
for sequential reads.
It's now a routine that just returns information from the FILE_T data
structure, so it's cheap. Use it, rather than maintaining the data_offset
field.
Readers for some file formats need to maintain file offset themselves;
have them do so in their private data structures.

by Wiretap, to indicate whether certain fields in that structure
actually have data in them.
Use the "time stamp present" flag to omit showing time stamp information
for packets (and "packets") that don't have time stamps; don't bother
working very hard to "fake" a time stamp for data files.
Use the "interface ID present" flag to omit the interface ID for packets
that don't have an interface ID.
We don't use the "captured length, separate from packet length, present"
flag to omit the captured length; that flag might be present but equal
to the packet length, and if you want to know if a packet was cut short
by a snapshot length, comparing the values would be the way to do that.
More work is needed to have wiretap/pcapng.c properly report the flags,
e.g. reporting no time stamp being present for a Simple Packet Block.

Fix an out-of-array-bounds warning from OpenBSD's compiler. (Note: this is
actually a false positive since adequate memory is allocated.)
From me: some additional code simplification.

same.
Add to wiretap/pcap-common.c a routine to fill in the pseudo-header for
ATM (by looking at the VPI, VCI, and packet data, and guessing) and
Ethernet (setting the FCS length appropriately). Use it for both pcap
and pcap-ng files.

we can cast not-necessarily-aligned pointers to pointers to those
structures without risk of compiler warnings *or* the underlying problem
the compiler's trying to warn us about (no, you can't always dereference
an unaligned pointer - SPARC traps, and at least some ARM processors may
do something other than what you want, for example).
This also caught some cases where we were not even properly
byte-swapping on big-endian platforms.
This also lets us not muck around with splitting 64-bit times into two
32-bit fields - we have pletohll(), after all.

by the gunzipping code. Have it also supply a err_info string, and
report it. Have file_error() supply an err_info string.
Put "the file" - or, for WTAP_ERR_DECOMPRESS, "the compressed file", to
suggest a decompression error - into the rawshark and tshark errors,
along the lines of what other programs print.
Fix a case in the Netscaler code where we weren't fetching the error
code on a read failure.

can't be saved in compress form" are both equivalent to "this file file
format requires seeking when writing it". Change the "can compress"
Boolean in the file format table to "writing requires seeking", give all
the entries the proper value, and do the checks for attempting to write
a file format to a pipe or write it in compressed format to common code.
This means we don't need to pass the "can't seek" flag to the dump open
routines.

file_read(buf, bsize, count, file) macro is compilant with fread
function and takes elements count+ size of each element, however to make
it compilant with gzread() it always returns number of bytes.
In wiretap file_read() this is not really used, file_read is called
either with bsize set to 1 or count to 1.
Attached patch remove bsize argument from macro.

wtap_dump_file_write(). Replace various wrappers around fwrite() with
wtap_dump_file_write(), or at least make the wrappers call
wtap_dump_file_write().

wtap-int.h, and change the unions of pointers to those private data
structures into just void *'s.
Have the generic wtap close routine free up the private data, rather
than the type-specific close routine, just as the wtap_dumper close
routine does for its private data. Get rid of close routines that don't
do anything any more.

"... a patch to make the netscaler wiretap code independent of the
host system endian-ness.
I have taken care of (1) reading and writing nstrace files (netscaler.c) and
(2) reading in dissector code (packet-nstrace.c) also."

as that will cause a memory leak - the error string will not be freed by
the caller, as it's presumed not to have been set.

Add support to read citrix netscaler capture file format.
From me:
- Renamed packet-ns.c to packet-nstrace.c
- Rewrote to not use "goto" in netscaler.c
- Moved dissecting of coreid
