(by deleting the main window or selecting File->Quit or typing ^Q) while
an "Update list of packets in real time" capture is in progress, we can
abort the capture.
Arrange that "fork_child" is -1 when there is no capture child, so said
routine knows when it can kill the child.
When we exit, kill off any capture child, using that routine, and, if
we're exiting due to a request to delete the main window and, if a read
is in progress (from an "Update list of packets in real time" capture),
don't delete the main window - just set the "Read aborted" flag, so that
the code doing the read will see that flag (it will be called because
the pipe to the capture child is closed due to the child exiting) will
see that and clean up and exit itself.

"gboolean", as it's a Boolean value, and move it to the beginning of the
structure in Tethereal, as it is in Ethereal.
From Graeme Hewson:
Check for "pcap_dispatch()" returning -1, meaning an error
occurred; if it does, stop capturing, and report the error.
If we get a signal in tethereal, stop the capture with a
"longjmp()", rather than by clearning the "go" flag;
"pcap_dispatch()", on many platforms, keeps reading rather than
returning a captured packet count of 0 if the system call to
read packets returns -1 with an errno of EINTR, so the
"pcap_dispatch()" won't be broken out of if the signal handler
returns.
Fix a typo in an error message.

From Thomas Wittwer and Matthias Nyffenegger:
Support for "ring buffer mode", wherein there's a ring buffer of N
capture files; as each capture file reaches its maximum size (the ring
buffer works only with a maximum capture file size specified), Ethereal
rolls over to the next capture file in the ring buffer, replacing
whatever packets might be in it with new packets.

a "Match Selected" on it - we can't do a "Match Selected" if the field
has no value (e.g., FT_NULL) and has a length of 0.
If we unselect the current packet, we don't have a protocol tree, so we
don't have a currently selected field - clear the "Match Selected" menu
item and the display in the status line of information about the
currently selected field.
Move the low-level statusbar manipulation into "gtk/main.c", in routines
whose API doesn't expose anything GTK+-ish.
"close_cap_file()" calls one of those routines to clear out the status
bar, so it doesn't need to take a pointer to the statusbar widget as an
argument.
"clear_tree_and_hex_views()" is purely a display-manipulating routine;
move it to "gtk/proto_draw.c".
Extract from "tree_view_unselect_row_cb()" an "unselect_field()" routine
to do all the work that needs to be done if the currently selected
protocol tree row is unselected, and call it if the currently selected
packet list row is unselected (if it's unselected, there *is* no
protocol tree, so no row can be selected), as well as from
"tree_view_unselect_row_cb()".

doesn't work like the read timeout in BPF - the timer doesn't start
until at least one packet has arrived.
I think that's the way read timeouts should work on *all* packet capture
mechanisms, but it does mean that Solaris will, on a quiet net, exhibit
the same symptoms that Linux used to exhibit before we put in a
"select()" call to wait until either packets arrive or a timer expires -
the "pcap_dispatch()" call blocks until a packet arrives, so the display
doesn't get updated and Ethereal doesn't respond to user input until a
packet arrives.
Furthermore, Linux isn't the only OS that lacks any read timeout
on its packet capture mechanism; the others will also have that problem.
We therefore do the "select()" on *all* platforms other than the BSDs
(where the timer starts when the read is done, and can be used for
polling); I don't know whether it's necessary on Digital UNIX, but I
suspect it's necessary on SunOS 4.x (as the 5.x "bufmod" is probably
derived from the 4.x one, and the 5.x one, as per the above, starts the
timer when a packet arrives), and it may even be necessary on 3.x, those
(BSD, SunOS including 5.x, and Digital UNIX) apparently being the only
UNIXes that appear to have such a read timeout.

If we're on UNIX and have libpcap, we should do the same; that way, if

an "I can't find <net/if.h>" error, rather than the configure indicating
that <net/if.h> can't be found, causing "util.c" not to include it,

On UNIX/X, default to

a pointer to the "wtap_pkthdr" structure for an open capture
file;
a pointer to the "wtap_pseudo_header" union for an open capture

a pointer to the packet buffer for an open capture file;
so that a program using "wtap_read()" in a loop can get at those items.
Keep, in a "capture_file" structure, an indicator of whether:
no file is open;
a file is open, and being read;
a file is open, and is being read, but the user tried to quit
out of reading the file (e.g., by doing "File/Quit");
a file is open, and has been completely read.
Abort if we try to close a capture that's being read if the user hasn't
tried to quit out of the read.
Have "File/Quit" check if a file is being read; if so, just set the
state indicator to "user tried to quit out of it", so that the code
reading the file can do what's appropriate to clean up, rather than
closing the file out from under that code and causing crashes.
Have "read_cap_file()" read the capture file with a loop using
"wtap_read()", rather than by using "wtap_loop()"; have it check after
reading each packet whether the user tried to abort the read and, if so,
close the capture and return an indication that the read was aborted by
the user. Otherwise, return an indication of whether the read
completely succeeded or failed in the middle (and, if it failed, return
the error code through a pointer).
Have "continue_tail_cap_file()" read the capture file with a loop using
"wtap_read()", rather than by using "wtap_loop()"; have it check after
reading each packet whether the user tried to abort the read and, if so,
quit the loop, and after the loop finishes (even if it read no packets),
return an indication that the read was aborted by the user if that
happened. Otherwise, return an indication of whether the read
completely succeeded or failed in the middle (and, if it failed, return
the error code through a pointer).
Have "finish_tail_cap_file()" read the capture file with a loop using
"wtap_read()", rather than by using "wtap_loop()"; have it check after
reading each packet whether the user tried to abort the read and, if so,
quit the loop, and after the loop finishes (even if it read no packets),
close the capture and return an indication that the read was aborted by
the user if that happened. Otherwise, return an indication of whether
the read completely succeeded or failed in the middle (and, if it
failed, return the error code through a pointer).
Have their callers check whether the read was aborted or not and, if it
was, bail out in the appropriate fashion (exit if it's reading a file
specified by "-r" on the command line; exit the main loop if it's
reading a file specified with File->Open; kill the capture child if it's
"continue_tail_cap_file()"; exit the main loop if it's

it was only getting closed by "wtap_dump_close()" on success, so

there's no need to keep it around in memory - when the frame data is
read in when handing a frame, read in the information, if any, necessary

This requires that the seek-and-read function be implemented inside
Wiretap, and that the Wiretap handle remain open even after we've
finished reading the file sequentially.
This also points out that we can't really do X.25-over-Ethernet

update their libpcap probably isn't going to scale - the increasing
frequency with which "Ethereal hangs when I try to capture packets"
shows up on "ethereal-dev" suggests that, unless and until a libpcap
with the "select()" in it becomes ubiquitous on Linux, that'll be the
source of a constant support burden - so we'll just put the "select()"
in Ethereal if it's being built for Linux.
(Putting it in for platforms where the read timeout argument to
"pcap_open_live()" works adds an extra useless system call at best and,
at worst, could make Ethereal not work - "select()" doesn't work on
"/dev/bpf" devices on FreeBSD 3.3, at least, unless you're in "immediate
mode", and, whilst "immediate mode" would make Ethereal respond more
quickly when packets arrive, it might cause Ethereal to respond too
quickly, doing reads for every new packet rather than waiting for
multiple packets to arrive and reading them all with one "read()", which
appears to be at least part of the intent of the read timeout on
"/dev/bpf" devices in BSD.)

Have "close_cap_file()" delete the current capture file if it's a

file to which to write the capture; if it's NULL, create a temporary
file and use that.
Have "-w" set a local variable, which starts out null, and, for "-k"
captures, call "do_capture()" and pass it that local variable as an
argument; this lets you do "-k" without "-w", which makes it use a
temporary file for the capture.
This means "run_capture()" no longer serves a useful purpose, as its
only caller is "do_capture()"; swallow it into "do_capture()".

capture is done; make it do so, and don't bother passing it a "-Q" flag
to tell it to do so.
"capture()" is called in two places; in one place, it's in a child
process, and it shouldn't read in the capture file. Move the reading of
the capture file out of "capture()" itself to the place where we
*should* read in the capture file after it returns. Also, have it
return an indication of whether it succeeded or failed, so we know
whether we should read in the capture file.

process for a sync mode or fork mode capture.
Have that flag control whether we do things that *only* the parent or
*only* the child should do, rather than basing it solely on the setting
of "sync_mode" or "fork_mode" (or, in the case of stuff done in the
child process either in sync mode or fork mode, rather than basing it on
the setting of those flags at all).
Split "do_capture()" into a "run_capture()" routine that starts a
capture (possibly by forking off and execing a child process, if we're
supposed to do sync mode or fork mode captures), and that assumes the
file to which the capture is to write has already been opened and that
"cf.save_file_fd" is the file descriptor for that file, and a
"do_capture()" routine that creates a temporary file, getting an FD for
it, and calls "run_capture()".
Use "run_capture()", rather than "capture()", for "-k" captures, so that
it'll do the capture in a child process if "-S" or "-F" was specified
("do_capture()" won't do because "-k" captures should write to the file
specified by the "-w" flag, not some random temporary file).
For child process captures, however, just use "capture()" - the child
process shouldn't itself fork off a child if we're in sync or fork mode,
and should just write to the file whose file descriptor was specified by
the "-W" flag on the command line.
All this allows you to do "ethereal -S -w <file> -i <interface> -k" to
start a sync mode capture from the command line.

popped up the top-level window (so that it looks like a capture
started from "Capture/Start");
initialized the colors (so that we don't dump core when reading
in the capture file);
popped up any message box for failure to read the preferences
file.
This means we start the capture in "main()", rather than in the realize
callback for the main window, so get rid of that callback.
If we're a child process that's just capturing to a file for our parent
to read, however, we shouldn't pop up the top-level window, because
that's our parent's job; when running that child, set its "argv[0]" to a
special name, so that
1) it shows up in a "ps" with a special name;
2) we don't have to invent Yet Another Flag to say "you're the
child".
(We may want to use the name to turn on *all* behaviors that the capture
child, and only the capture child, should exhibit.)
If "-w" and "-k" were both specified, attempt to open the file specified
by "-w" and, if that succeeds, set "cf.save_file_fd" to refer to it, so
that "-w" plus "-k" works again, rather than popping up a "The file to
which the capture would be saved ... could not be opened: Bad file
descriptor." message box.

for very long, but I'd rather have it obviously stated in the code).
Remove the close in "capture()", and put one before the other call to
"capture()", in "main_realize_cb()" (is that call necessary, e.g. if you
pass "-r <filename>" *and* "-k", for some perverse reason, as
command-line arguments?).

If the attempt to create said temporary capture file fails, pop up a
dialog box and don't do the capture.
Have the child capture process send a message upstream after it either
successfully starts the capture and syncs out the header of the capture
file, or fails to start the capture; the message indicates whether it
succeeded or failed, and, if it failed, includes a failure message.
This:
avoids the use of a signal, and thus means we don't have to
worry about whether to capture the signal, or whether to start
or stop capturing depending on whether this particular capture
is in sync mode or not;
lets us pop up the message box for the error in the parent
process if we're in sync mode, rather than doing it in the
child, which didn't work well.
Add a check button to the Capture/Start dialog box, so that we can

"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()".

and in different capture files; throw in some heuristics to try to
figure out whether the 4-byte header is:
1) PPP-over-HDLC (some version of ISDN4BSD?);
2) big-endian AF_ value (BSD on big-endian platforms);
3) little-endian AF_ value (BSD on little-endian platforms);
4) two octets of 0 followed by an Ethernet type (Linux, at least
on little-endian platforms, as mutated by "libpcap").
Make a separate Wiretap encapsulation type, WTAP_ENCAP_NULL,
corresponding to DLT_NULL.
Have the PPP code dissect the frame if it's PPP-over-HDLC, and have
"ethertype()" dissect the Ethernet type and the rest of the packet if
it's a Linux-style header; dissect it ourselves only if it's an AF_
value.
Have Wiretap impose a maximum packet size of 65535 bytes, so that it
fails more gracefully when handed a corrupt "libpcap" capture file
(other capture file formats with more than a 16-bit capture length
field, if any, will have that check added later), and put that size in
"wtap.h" and have Ethereal use it as its notion of a maximum packet
size.
Have Ethereal put up a "this file appears to be damaged or corrupt"
message box if Wiretap returns a WTAP_ERR_BAD_RECORD error when opening
or reading a capture file.
Include loopback interfaces in the list of interfaces offered by the
"Capture" dialog box, but put them at the end of the list so that it
doesn't default to a loopback interface unless there are no other
interfaces. Also, don't require that an interface in the list have an
IP address associated with it, and only put one entry in the list for a
given interface (SIOCGIFCONF returns one entry per interface *address*,
not per *interface* - and even if you were to use only IP addresses, an
interface could conceivably have more than one IP address).
Exclusively use Wiretap encapsulation types internally, even when
capturing; don't use DLT_ types.

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

When creating the temporary file for a capture, use "create_tempfile()",

it gives us - somebody could remove the file and plant a link to some
file, and, if as may well be the case when Ethereal is capturing
packets, it's running as "root", that means we write a capture on top of
that file.... (The aforementioned changes to Wiretap let you open a
capture file for writing given an file descriptor, "fdopen()"-style,

The former, which used to be called by "load_cap_file()", now just opens
the file and, if the open succeeds, closes any capture file we
previously had open, reinitializes any protocols that need
reinitialization, and saves information about the new capture file in
the "capture_file" structure to which it was passed a pointer. The
latter reads the file already opened by "read_cap_file()".
For "File/Open", call "open_cap_file()" before dismissing the file
selection box; if it fails, "open_cap_file()" will have popped up a
message box complaining about it - just return, leaving the file
selection box open so the user can, after dismissing the message box,
either try again with a different file name, or dismiss the file
selection box. (Other file selection boxes should be made to work the
same way.) If "open_cap_file()" succeeds, dismiss the file selection
box, and read the capture file in.

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
