a "keep reading" boolean value is returned from the function.
This avoids having to hack around the fact that some file formats truly
do have records that start at offset 0. (i4btrace and csids have no
file header. Neither does the pppdump-style file that I'm looking at right now).

2.002, as used by release 3.50 of the Network Associates Sniffer for
Windows; currently, we treat it just like the 2.001 version, so we
rename the version #define WTAP_FILE_NETXRAY_2_001 to
WTAP_FILE_NETXRAY_2_00x and use that for both 2.001 and 2.002.

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
to reconstruct the frame header, and reconstruct it. This saves some
memory.
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
correctly, as we don't know where the direction (DTE->DCE or DCE->DTE)
flag is stored; it's not clear how the Ethernet type 0x0805 for X.25
Layer 3 is supposed to be handled in any case. We eliminate
X.25-over-Ethernet support (until we find out what we're supposed to
do).

from the frame table - Network Monitor 2.x, at least, doesn't always
write frame N+1 right after frame N.
To do that, we need to mallocate a big array to hold the frame table,
and free it when we close the capture file; this requires that we have
capture-file-type-specific close routines as well as
capture-file-type-specific read routines - we let it the pointer to that
routine be null if it's not needed. Given that, we might as well get
rid of the switch statement in "wtap_close()", in favor of using
capture-file-type-specific close routines, as per the comment before
that switch statement.

traces. The trace we got from Tom Poe (tomp@intrex.net) contains PPP

The hardware addresses are the bytes for the ASCII reprsentation of
"SRC" and "DEST", with null pad bytes at the end. Interesting.

hideous problem on FreeBSD 3.[23] (and perhaps other BSDs) if
HAVE_UNISTD_H is defined before "zlib.h" is included, turn "file_seek()"
into a subroutine defined in a file that *undefines* HAVE_UNISTD_H
before including "zlib.h", so that the *only* call to "gzseek()" is made
from a file that does not have HAVE_UNISTD_H defined when it includes
"zlib.h".
Move "file_error()" to that file while you're at it, so it holds all the
wrappers that hide the presence or absence of zlib from routines to read
capture files.
Turn "file.h", which declared those wrapper functions as well as wrapper
macros, into "file_wrapper.h" - it belongs with the "file_wrapper.c"
file that defines the wrapper functions, not with "file.c" which handles
higher-layer file access functions.
Remove the comment in "configure.in" that explained why defining
HAVE_UNISTD_H was a bad idea, as we're not obliged to define it and work
around the problem. (The comment in "file_wrapper.c" explains the
workaround.)

the capture; set it to that when writing the capture.
Support Token Ring and FDDI captures (as per the network type in the
file header appearing to be either the NDIS network type, or the NDIS
network type minus 1 - I forget whether Ethernet has an NDIS type of 0
or 1).
Don't write the file header twice, keeping a static copy of it around,
as Wiretap code isn't supposed to keep any static data around; instead,
write it only when we're done writing out all the records (as we do on
Network Monitor captures).
Compute the time stamps when writing the file.
Give Windows Sniffer 1.1-format a short name, so "editcap" doesn't dump
core or print "(null)" in its usage message.
WTAP_ENCAP_NULL isn't supported by NetMon; don't write it.

It's very basic, and doesn't write out the timestamps currently. It also
only handles WTAP_ENCAP_ETHERNET, although it can probably do the others,
but I don't have a good way to test them. This code has not yet been tested
against a Sniffer Pro, although wiretap can read the files just fine.

Assign a range of Wiretap errors for zlib errors, and have

The "fh" member of a "wtap" structure points to something constructed

gzip. The zLib library is used for this purpose. If zLib is not available
(or it's use is disabled by the --disable-zlib option to configure), you
can still compile Ethereal but it will be unable to read compressed capture
files.
IMPORTANT:
Now all file accesses to capture files should be done through special macros.
Specifically, for any use of the following functions on capture files, replace them.
The arguments for the right-side functions are exactly the same as for the
original stdio functions.
fopen file_open
fdopen filed_open
fread file_read
fwrite file_write
fseek file_seek
fclose file_close
ferror file_error

"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()".

Get rid of WTAP_ENCAP_NONE; replace it with WTAP_ENCAP_UNKNOWN, which
means "I can't handle that file, it's using an encapsulation I don't
support".
Check for encapsulations we don't support, and return an error (as is
already done in "libpcap.c").
Check for too-large packet sizes, and return an error (as is already
done in "libpcap.c").
Print unsigned quantities in Wiretap messages with "%u", not "%d".

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
error code, in "read_cap_file()" put up a message box if we get an error
reading the file, and return the error code.
Handle the additional errors we can get when opening a capture file.
If the attempt to open a capture file succeeds, but the attempt to read
it fails, don't treat that as a complete failure - we may have managed
to read some of the capture file, and we should display what we managed
to read.

write them in "libpcap" format, but the mechanism can have other formats
added.
When creating the temporary file for a capture, use "create_tempfile()",
to close a security hole opened by the fact that "tempnam()" creates a
temporary file, but doesn't open it, and we open the file with the name
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,
which this change requires.)
