Friendly Names for interfaces on Windows
Notes on the changes the patch covers:
* if_info_t struct: addition of friendly_name
* Dumpcap Interface list format changes:
+ Win32: "dumpcap -D" shows friendly_name in place of descript if known
+ All: machine interface "dumpcap -D -Z none" includes friendly_name in the
list in addition to the existing parameters
* interface_options struct: addition of console_display_name
+ When an interface name is displayed in a console, it will typically be the
console_display_name (instead of name).
+ console_display_name is used as the basis of the autogenerated temp
filenames
+ console_display_name is typically set to the friendly_name if known,
otherwise it is set to the interface name
* Enhancements to capture_opts_add_iface_opt() (the function which process -i
options).
+ Can now specify the interface using its name and friendly_name
+ Interface name matching is case insenstive
+ Name matching first attempts exact matching, then falls back to prefix
matching
(e.g. dumpcap -i local)
+ Validates interface names, instead of blindly sending them off to
winpcap/libpcap
+ Interface specification by number is still supported.
* capture_opts_trim_iface() has been refactored:
+ Instead of repeating a decent chunk of the cost in
capture_opts_add_iface_opt(), it calls capture_opts_trim_iface() to specify the
interface.
* introduction of capture_win_ifnames.[ch] (windows only code)
+ Implements static function GetInterfaceFriendlyNameFromDeviceGuid() - a
windows version independant function to convert an interface guid into its
friendly name. Uses published api functions on windows vista and higher, but
falls back to unpublished API functions on older windows releases.
+ void get_windows_interface_friendlyname(/* IN */ char
*interface_devicename, /* OUT */char **interface_friendlyname); - extracts the
GUID from the interface_devicename, then uses
GetInterfaceFriendlyNameFromDeviceGuid() to do the resolution
* Auto temp filename generation:
+ Now uses wireshark_pcapng_* or wireshark_pcap_* depending on file format
+ Basis temp filename format on console_display_name
+ Win32: if console_display_name is a windows interface guid, extracts
numbers from GUID here (instead of in interface option processing)
GUI CHANGES:
* Dialog that displays when you click the "Manage Interfaces" button (within
Capture Options dialog) has been renamed from "Add new interfaces" to
"Interface Management"
* ui/gtk/capture_dlg.c: new_interfaces_w variable renamed to
interface_management_w
* Win32: Local Interfaces tab on Interface Management dialog, shows includes
friendly name as far left column
* Interface Management dialog defaults to larger size on win32 - so it fits
without resizing local interfaces tab
* Interface Management dialog now saves preferences when you click the apply
button (local hidden interfaces was not persisting across restarts)
* Tweaks: "Interface Details" dialog (Interface list->Capture Interfaces ->
Details):
+ "Friendly Name" renamed to "NDIS Friendly Name"
+ Added "OS Friendly Name" to the top of the list
* Win32: The "Capture Interfaces" dialog now shows the friendly name instead of
device guid
* Welcome screen:
+ The height of the interface list scrollbox dynamically adjusts & updates to
the number visible interfaces.
Up to 10 interfaces can be listed without a scroll bar, the minimum height
is for 2 interfaces.
+ Win32: now shows just the Friendly Name if known - in place of
"Interfacename_Guid:(Description)"

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6134 :
Make VERSION_MAJOR, VERSION_MINOR, and VERSION_MICRO available in config.h so
(e.g.) dissector writers can #if around them as necessary to make a piece of
code compile with different versions of Wireshark. (Hopefully VERSION_MICRO
is not important in this respect!)
Windows also defines VERSION_EXTRA which can be used to help identify custom
builds; this is not done for these build methods (yet?).

qtshark build again.
(Also, first commit trying to use bzr as an svn client, so apologies if
something unexpected breaks)
svn path=/trunk/; revision=44908
Move the GTK+ text import code to the common UI directory. Create
wtap_encap_requires_phdr() from code in file_import_dlg.c.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=44904
add_definitions() but the variables CMAKE_C{,XX}_FLAGS. Set these
flags correctly at the toplevel, so no hack in the ui/qt/ subdir
is required anymore.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=44633
extraction of the wireshark version for cmake. Now the version part
is either terminated by ")" (old) or "," (added).
It looks like .*? does not exist for non-greedy matches in cmake regex.

Add an interface monitor that, on Linux distributions with libnl,
watches for interfaces to appear or disappear and, on such an event,
causes windows showing interface lists to update.

source file directly into the sources variable - there seems to
be a subtle difference between ui/util.c and epan/crypt/md5.c

variable on the initial cmake run and not on later re-runs (like when some
cmakelists.txt file changed and we call make).
Of course this value should really be passed as an option instead of an
environment variable but I want to document how to get the current approach
working properly before switching to the proper approach.

Add support to follow UDP and TCP streams like wireshark does. UDP streams are
selected with IP address/port pairs. TCP stream are selected with either the
stream index or IP address/port pairs.

a) C++ has a standardized way of marking parameters as unused
b) cmakes autoquoting magic failed when the compiler wasn't gcc
but moc instead.
- qtshark: Don't try to compile the c source files inside ui/qt/
- qtshark: Only run moc on the files that need it.
- qtshark: It's too early to try any of the new qtshark files
as clean.
- Make Qt detection actually work
- Add C++ to the list of languages for this project
