Besides the obvious limitation of being unavailable on Windows,
the standard is vague about getopt() and getopt_long() has many
non-portable pitfalls and buggy implementations, that increase
the maintainance cost a lot. Also the GNU libc code currently
in the tree is not suited for embedding and is unmaintainable.
Own maintainership for getopt_long() and use the musl implementation
everywhere. This way we don't need to worry if optreset is available,
or if the $OPERATING_SYSTEM version behaves in subtly different ways.
The API is under the Wireshark namespace to avoid conflicts with
system headers.
Side-note, the Mingw-w64 9.0 getopt_long() implementation is buggy
with opterr and known to crash. In my experience it's a headache to
use the embedded getopt implementation if the system provides one.
Register the pcap and pcapng file types/subtypes rather than hardwiring
them into the table.
Call the registration routines for them directly, rather than through a
generated table; they're always supposed to be there, as some code in
Wireshark either writes only one of those formats or defaults to writing
one of those formats. Don't run their source code through the
registration-routine-finder script.
Have the file type/subtype codes for them be directly exported to the
libwiretap core, and provide routines to return each of them, to be used
by the aforementioned code.
When reporting errors with cfile_write_failure_message(), use
wtap_dump_file_type_subtype() to get the file type/subtype value for the
wtap_dumper to which we're writing, rather than hardcoding it.
Have the "export PDU" code capable of supporting arbitrary file
types/subtypes, although we currently only use pcapng.
Get rid of declarations of now-static can_write_encap and
dump_open routines in various headers.
Instead of a "supports name resolution" Boolean and bitflags for types of
comments supported, provide a list of block types that the file
type/subtype supports, with each block type having a list of options
supported. Indicate whether "supported" means "one instance" or
"multiple instances".
"Supports" doesn't just mean "can be written", it also means "could be
read".
Rename WTAP_BLOCK_IF_DESCRIPTION to WTAP_BLOCK_IF_ID_AND_INFO, to
indicate that it provides, in addition to information about the
interface, an ID (implicitly, in pcapng files, by its ordinal number)
that is associated with every packet in the file. Emphasize that in
comments - just because your capture file format can list the interfaces
on which a capture was done, that doesn't mean it supports this; it
doesn't do so if the file doesn't indicate, for every packet, on which
of those interfaces it was captured (I'm looking at *you*, Microsoft
Network Monitor...).
Use APIs to query that information to do what the "does this file
type/subtype support name resolution information", "does this file
type/subtype support all of these comment types", and "does this file
type/subtype support - and require - interface IDs" APIs did.
Provide backwards compatibility for Lua.
This allows us to eliminate the WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_ values for IBM's
iptrace; do so.
Remove NG from the names - it adds nothing.
Don't use the abbreviations for pcapng block names, spell out what the
block does (e.g. "WTAP_BLOCK_DECRYPTION_SECRETS" rather than
"WTAP_BLOCK_DSB"), to make it more obvious what the block does.
Spell out some other abbreviations.
Add WTAP_BLOCK_PACKET for future use for packet blocks; there's no need
to distinguish between the Enhanced Packet Block, the Simple Packet
Block, and the deprecated Packet Block here.
It corresponds to LINKTYPE_ETW in pcap and pcapng files; the structures
in the record format come from the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) API
rather than directly from Event Trace Log files.
While we're at it, explain what extcap/etl does.
New link type DLT_ETW is added for write and read Event Trace on Windows.
This change updates MBIM dissector to decode a MBIM message from
a DLT_ETW packet.
