Guy Harris 3c78feeadc VMS TCPIPtrace wiretap module, from Marc Milgram.
Update the lists of known capture file formats in the Tethereal,
editcap, and mergecap man pages to match the current list (as found in
the Ethereal man page).

Guy Harris 8127f13e9f Don't capitalize the names of programs in the summary lines of man pages
- at least some versions of makewhatis (e.g., the Solaris version)
uses that name in a case-sensitive fashion, so you can't do "man
ethereal", say, you have to do "man Ethereal", and that doesn't work as
the man page file is "ethereal.1", not "Ethereal.1".

Guy Harris 7de3b988bd In the final scene of the horror movie, just when you think the monster
is finally dead, and you're walking away, it springs up again and
attacks.

It appears that the ss990915 version of Alexey Kuznetzov's libpcap patch
has some extra stuff in the per-packet header for some sort of SMP
debugging, and that SuSE Linux 6.3 picked it up.

Thus, even if a libpcap file has the modified magic number, we *still*
have to go through the usual heuristic hell to figure out what type of
file it is.

Guy Harris 8af330852d Support for reading compressed Sniffer files, from Tim Farley, Joerg
Mayer, and yours truly.

Guy Harris 4c071627ed Add a "-s" flag to editcap, to make it truncate packets to a specified
snapshot length before writing them to the output file; this may come in
handy if you are translating the file to a different format so that it
can be read by a program that can't handle packets above a certain size
(e.g., the snoop in Solaris 2.5.1 or 2.6, which reject Ethernet packets
larger than the Ethernet MTU, and thus can't handle gigabit Ethernet
captures using jumbo frames).

Guy Harris dc8fa8baf3 Note that the "-T" flag doesn't cause "editcap" to translate link-layer
headers, it just causes it to force the encapsulation type of the output
file to the specified type.
