At one point, I remember a discussion resulting in the official name of
the next-generation replacement for pcap format being changed to
"pcapng", with no hyphen.
Make Wireshark reflect that.

pcap provides a pcap_set_tstamp_type function, which can be used to request
hardware timestamps from a supporting kernel.
This patch adds support for aforementioned function as well as two new
command line options to dumpcap, wireshark and tshark:
--list-time-stamp-types
List time stamp types supported for the interface
--time-stamp-type <type>
Change the interface's timestamp method
Name choice mimics those used by tcpdump(1), which already supports this
feature. However, unlike tcpdump, we provide both options unconditionally.
If Wireshark was configured without pcap_set_tstamp_type being available,
--list-time-stamp-types reports an empty list.

Add the "interval" option to "-b". Each new capture starts at the
exact start of a time interval. For instance, using -b interval:3600
will start a new capture file at each whole hour.
Changed the duration option in the GUI interfaces to use the new
interval option.

Default value for snaplen is defined in wiretap/wtap.h:
#define WTAP_MAX_PACKET_SIZE 262144
and used in capture_opts.c:
capture_opts->default_options.snaplen =
WTAP_MAX_PACKET_SIZE;
but help and man pages don't reflect this change.

argument to the -F flag for pcap format is "libpcap", not "pcap", we
have a problem. Make it "pcap", and add a backwards-compatibility hack
to support using "libpcap" as well.
Update the man pages to refer to it as pcap as well, and fix the
capitalization of "WinPcap" (see http://www.winpcap.org) while we're at
it.
Also, refer to http://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html for the list of
link-layer header types for pcap and pcap-ng.

This also fixes a logic arrow in enforcing the limits.

Add that option to tshark, too, and document it.
The option can't be given to Wireshark because the GUI already has a "-g"

being the only program that needs to be linked with *pcap, that's when
we'd want to fetch that information, but there might be other libraries
(e.g., the POSIX capabilities library) that it might be linked with but
that programs that use it aren't linked with.
Don't commit to the output formats of -M, as they are, as noted, subject
to change from release to release.

Add support for a machine-readable "-v" output, which prints only the
pcap version string.
Give a little more information about the machine-readable format, but
note that it's primarily intended for consumption by Wireshark and
TShark and is subject to change.
Properly hyphenate "pcap-ng".

Add a capture_interface_list(), which works similar to
