for errors when closing a file to which we've written packets (we don't
bother checking if we're giving up on a capture).
Add some more error checks in Wiretap.
Make a single list of all Wiretap error codes, giving them all different
values (some can be returned by more than one routine, so they shouldn't
be per-routine).

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.)

reason for the failure, and have it do the checks to make sure the file
being opened is a plain file or a pipe.
Have "open_cap_file()" make use of that.
Don't automatically set "last_open_dir" if a "-r" flag was specified on
the command line - do so only if the file in question could actually be
opened.

wiretap support for RADCOM Ltd.'s WAN/LAN analyzers (see
http://www.radcom-inc.com/
). Note: as I remember, IEEE 802.2/ISO 8022 LLC has somewhat of an SDLC
flavor to it, just as I think LAP, LAPB, LAPD, and so on do, so we may
be able to combine some of the LLC dissection and the LAPB dissection
into common code that could, conceivably be used for other SDLC-flavored
protocols.
Make "S" a mnemonic for "Summary" in the "Tools" menu.
Move the routine, used for the "Tools/Summary" display, that turns a
wiretap file type into a descriptive string for it into the wiretap
library itself, expand on some of its descriptions, and add an entry for
files from a RADCOM analyzer.
Have "Tools/Summary" display the snapshot length for the capture.

but does not link. Perhaps someone who understands the MS tools can help
out. I made it link a few months ago, but with different version of glib/gtk+.
I can't remember how I made it link.
Most of the compatibility issues were resolved with adding
#ifdef HAVE_UNISTD_H the the source code. Please be sure to add this to all
future code.

Tim also indicated that the Network Monitor network types may be NDIS
network types+1. It also appears that NetXRay/Windows Sniffer network
types may be NDIS network types as well.

proto*() functions. The configure script tries to use ipv6 name resolution if
it knows the type of ipv6 stack the user has (this can be avoided with the
--disable-ipv6 switch) Additionally, the configure script now deals with wiretap
better. If the user doesn't want to compile wiretap, the wiretap is never
visited. A few unnecessary #includes were removed from some wiretap files, and
a CPP macro was moved from bpf.c to wtap.h.

This assumes that the time stamps are still in units of microseconds; I
don't yet have a text decode of the version-2.001 file from the program
that decoded it, so I can't check the time stamps.

figure out the time when a packet was captured.

Network Associates), called "Sniffer Basic".
A similar format appears to be used by the Windows Sniffer Pro.

can be inferred from the first few bytes of the file, so we never
have to give wiretap a hint as to the file type.

This necessitated a change in ethereal because iptrace supports multi-NIC
packet capturing, including multi-datalink-type capturing.

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.
Make "wtap_dispatch_cb()" and "pcap_dispatch_cb()" static to "file.c",
as they're not used elsewhere.
If we're using wiretap, don't define in "file.h" stuff used only when
we're not using wiretap.
Update the wiretap README to reflect Gilbert's and my recent changes.
Clean up some memory leaks in "wiretap/lanalyzer.c" and
"wiretap/ngsniffer.c", where the capture-file-format-specific data
wasn't freed if the open failed.

because it is still in its infancy, but it can be compiled in optionally.
The library exists in its own subdirectory ethereal/wiretap. This patch also
edits all the packet-*.c files to remove the #include <pcap.h> line which is
unnecessary in these files. In the ethereal code, file.c is the most heavily
modified with #ifdef WITH_WIRETAP lines for the optional library.
