It appears that the ss990915 version of Alexey Kuznetzov's libpcap patch
has some extra stuff in the per-packet header for some sort of SMP
debugging, and that SuSE Linux 6.3 picked it up.
Thus, even if a libpcap file has the modified magic number, we *still*
have to go through the usual heuristic hell to figure out what type of
file it is.

a pointer to the "wtap_pkthdr" structure for an open capture
file;
a pointer to the "wtap_pseudo_header" union for an open capture
file;
a pointer to the packet buffer for an open capture file;
so that a program using "wtap_read()" in a loop can get at those items.
Keep, in a "capture_file" structure, an indicator of whether:
no file is open;
a file is open, and being read;
a file is open, and is being read, but the user tried to quit
out of reading the file (e.g., by doing "File/Quit");
a file is open, and has been completely read.
Abort if we try to close a capture that's being read if the user hasn't
tried to quit out of the read.
Have "File/Quit" check if a file is being read; if so, just set the
state indicator to "user tried to quit out of it", so that the code
reading the file can do what's appropriate to clean up, rather than
closing the file out from under that code and causing crashes.
Have "read_cap_file()" read the capture file with a loop using
"wtap_read()", rather than by using "wtap_loop()"; have it check after
reading each packet whether the user tried to abort the read and, if so,
close the capture and return an indication that the read was aborted by
the user. Otherwise, return an indication of whether the read
completely succeeded or failed in the middle (and, if it failed, return
the error code through a pointer).
Have "continue_tail_cap_file()" read the capture file with a loop using
"wtap_read()", rather than by using "wtap_loop()"; have it check after
reading each packet whether the user tried to abort the read and, if so,
quit the loop, and after the loop finishes (even if it read no packets),
return an indication that the read was aborted by the user if that
happened. Otherwise, return an indication of whether the read
completely succeeded or failed in the middle (and, if it failed, return
the error code through a pointer).
Have "finish_tail_cap_file()" read the capture file with a loop using
"wtap_read()", rather than by using "wtap_loop()"; have it check after
reading each packet whether the user tried to abort the read and, if so,
quit the loop, and after the loop finishes (even if it read no packets),
close the capture and return an indication that the read was aborted by
the user if that happened. Otherwise, return an indication of whether
the read completely succeeded or failed in the middle (and, if it
failed, return the error code through a pointer).
Have their callers check whether the read was aborted or not and, if it
was, bail out in the appropriate fashion (exit if it's reading a file
specified by "-r" on the command line; exit the main loop if it's
reading a file specified with File->Open; kill the capture child if it's
"continue_tail_cap_file()"; exit the main loop if it's
"finish_tail_cap_file()".

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).

and nettl captures - a "start" field is used for capture files where the
time stamps on packets are relative to some initial time stamp, e.g. the
time the capture started, but those file formats use absolute time
stamps, so no "start" field is needed.
Make the "this is an HP-UX 11.x nettl capture" flag a member of the
private data structure for a nettl capture, rather than a global - it's
per-capture-file state.
Once the "start" field is removed from the RADCOM private data
structure, there's nothing left, so eliminate the private data

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.

It turns out that the iptrace 2.0 header is simply an extension to
the iptrace 1.0 header. It also appears that iptrace 1.0 has only tv_sec, but
not tv_usec, which explains why the fields are separated in the iptrace 2.0

in two places.

WTAP_ENCAP_PER_PACKET, if we could determine the encapsulation of

This may be useful in the future, if we allow files to be saved in
different capture file formats - we'd have to specify, when creating the
capture file, the per-file encapsulation, for those formats that don't
support per-packet encapsulations (we wouldn't be able to save a
multi-encapsulation capture in those formats).

"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

3) little-endian AF_ value (BSD on little-endian platforms);
4) two octets of 0 followed by an Ethernet type (Linux, at least

Make a separate Wiretap encapsulation type, WTAP_ENCAP_NULL,

Have the PPP code dissect the frame if it's PPP-over-HDLC, and have
"ethertype()" dissect the Ethernet type and the rest of the packet if
it's a Linux-style header; dissect it ourselves only if it's an AF_

Have Wiretap impose a maximum packet size of 65535 bytes, so that it
fails more gracefully when handed a corrupt "libpcap" capture file
(other capture file formats with more than a 16-bit capture length
field, if any, will have that check added later), and put that size in
"wtap.h" and have Ethereal use it as its notion of a maximum packet
size.

message box if Wiretap returns a WTAP_ERR_BAD_RECORD error when opening

Include loopback interfaces in the list of interfaces offered by the

IP address associated with it, and only put one entry in the list for a
given interface (SIOCGIFCONF returns one entry per interface *address*,
not per *interface* - and even if you were to use only IP addresses, an

the per-capture-file-type open routines treat errors accessing the file

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

That requires that, in the packet-reading loop, we pass to the callback
routine the offset in the file of a packet's data, because we can no
longer compute that offset by subtracting the size of the captured
packet data from the offset in the file after the data was read -
"snoop" may stick padding in after the packet data to align packet
headers on 4-byte boundaries.
Doing that required that we arrange that we do that for "libpcap"
capture files as well; the cleanest way to do that was to write our own
code for reading "libpcap" capture files, rather than using the
"libpcap" code to do it.
