Allow "-U ?" as well as an empty argument; an empty argument is a bit
counterintuitive.
Simplify the introductory line of output - asking for a list of taps
isn't an error in which the user failed to supply a tap name, it's a
case where the user suplied a request for a list of tap names.
Just use fprintf() to print the list, and indent the elements of the
list, as we do with other lists of valid arguments.
List the valid arguments if the user specified an invalid argument as
well.
(cherry picked from commit 9bd144b8ea)
Add support internally to using iconv (always present with glib) to convert
strings from various encodings to UTF-8 (using REPLACEMENT CHARACTER as
recommended), and use that to support GB 18030 and EUC-KR. Replace call
directly to iconv in ANSI 637 for EUC-KR to new API. Update comments
and documentation around character encodings. It is possible to replace
the calls to iconv with an internal decoder later. Tested on Linux and
on Windows (including with illegal characters). Closes#16630.
Fix some issues discovered by common python linters including:
* switch `None` comparisons to use `is` rather than `==`. Identity !=
equality, and I've spent 40+ hours before tracking down a subtle bug
caused by exactly this issue. Note that this may introduce a problem if
one of the scripts is depending on this behavior, in which case the
comparison should be changed to `True`/`False` rather than `None`.
* Use `except Exception:` as bare `except:` statements have been
discouraged for years. Ideally for some of these we'd examine if there
were specific exceptions that should be caught, but for now I simply
caught all. Again, this could introduce very subtle behavioral changes
under Python 2, but IIUC, that was all fixed in Python 3, so safe to
move to `except Exception:`.
* Use more idiomatic `if not x in y`--> `if x not in y`
* Use more idiomatic 2 blank lines. I only did this at the beginning,
until I realized how overwhelming this was going to be to apply, then I
stopped.
* Add a TODO where an undefined function name is called, so will fail
whenever that code is run.
* Add more idiomatic spacing around `:`. This is also only partially
cleaned up, as I gave up when I saw how `asn2wrs.py` was clearly
infatuated with the construct.
* Various other small cleanups, removed some trailing whitespace and
improper indentation that wasn't a multiple of 4, etc.
There is still _much_ to do, but I haven't been heavily involved with
this project before, so thought this was a sufficient amount to put up
and see what the feedback is.
Linters that I have enabled which highlighted some of these issues
include:
* `pylint`
* `flake8`
* `pycodestyle`
FT_STRINGZPAD is for null-*padded* strings, where the field is in an
area of specified length, and, if the string is shorter than that
length, all bytes past the end of the string are NULs.
FT_STRINGZTRUNC is for null-*truncated* strings, where the field is in
an area of specified length and, if the string is shorter than that
length, there's a null character (which might be more than one byte, for
UCS-2, UTF-16, or UTF-32), and anything after that is not guaranteed to
have any particular value.
Use IS_FT_STRING() in some places rather than enumerating all the string
types, so that those places get automatically changed if the set of
string types changes.
We started allowing source files to be encoded as UTF-8 in April 2019 in
bd75f5af0a. Update README.developer to match.
README.developer no longer has a "Code style" section, so update the
Developer's Guide to point to the "Portability" section.
FT_STRINGZ should be used *ONLY* if the string is *ALWAYS* supposed to
have a null terminator, either because the length isn't otherwise
specified, so that it can only be determined by finding the terminating
null character, or because a character count *and* a NULL terminator are
both used (yes, there appear to be some cases where that's true).
FT_STRINGZPAD is null-padded rather than null-terminated; this is
typically used for fixed-length fields that contain a string value that
might be shorter than the fixed length.

This proposal adds a new option '-b printname:<filename>' to dumpcap. If
used, dumpcap will print the name of each ring buffer file it creates
after it is closed. Allows the use of '-'/'stdout' and 'stderr'.
Use case: Since the file name is printed after the file is closed for
writing, an automated capture process can do something like the
following with the guarantee that the file in question will not be
changed.
dumpcap -i eth0 -b files:2 -b printname:stdout [-b ...] | \
while read cap_file_name ; do
# Do something with $cap_file_name
done
This sort of scripting is difficult in dumpcap's current form. Dumpcap
prints the names of new files to stderr as it *opens* them, so a script
attempting to use this must sleep for "-b duration:value" seconds plus
some fudge time to be sure it's getting a closed, unchanging file.

In each of our executables we were calling "setlocale(LC_ALL, "")" at
startup. This told Windows that output was encoded using the current
system code page. Unless the code page was 65001 (UTF-8), this was a lie.
We write UTF-8 to stdout and stderr, so call "setlocale(LC_ALL, ".UTF-8)"
at startup on Windows. This lets the CRT translate our output correctly
in more cases.
Clarify and expand the OUTPUT section in the tshark man page.

The static arrays are supposed to be arrays of const pointers to int,
not arrays of non-const pointers to const int.
Fixing that means some bugs (scribbling on what's *supposed* to be a
const array) will be caught (see packet-ieee80211-radiotap.c for
examples, the first of which inspired this change and the second of
which was discovered while testing compiles with this change), and
removes the need for some annoying casts.

As I said in
https://ask.wireshark.org/question/10361/how-to-properly-use-heuristic-dissector-for-tcp/?answer=10363#post-id-10363
"Should" has multiple meanings; there's "Used to indicate obligation,
duty, or correctness, typically when criticizing someone's actions.", as
in "I think we should trust our people more", and there's "Used to
indicate what is probable.", as in "the bus should arrive in a few
minutes". You're reading it in the latter sense; it was intended in the
former sense.
That sentence should probably be changed to "Wireshark must be then set
up..." to avoid the ambiguity.
Make it so (over half a year later, sigh), and change another case where
"should" is meant in the first sense while we're at it.
