Ronnie Sahlberg 729e433e37 Update to the io,stat tethereal tap.
Make it possible to use subsecond granularity for the measurement intervals.

io,stat is updated to accept the interval to be specified with ms resolution.

Example

-z io,stat,0.001,smb

to generate 1ms statistics for all SMB traffic.

Ronnie Sahlberg 96a18fb8cf TopTalkers feature for Ethernet/IP/TokenRing
IO-Users is a feature for tethereal that will print statistics on io usage
similar to top talkers in other tools.

It needs to be ported to ethereal with a nice graph sometime later.

try:
-z io,users,ip

Ronnie Sahlberg 48d3d8eb26 SMB RTT statistics for tethereal and ethereal.
SMB RTT statistics are similar to the RTT statistics already supported by ONC-RPC and DCE-RPC.
It will present a table with all seen SMB commands and present the Min/Max and Avg response time in ms.

Transaction2 and NT-Transaction commands are broken out and presented in its own subtables.

tethereal feature is activated with -z smb,rtt    switch
and in ethereal it is activated either through -0z smb,rtt switch or through the Menu.

Guy Harris 1e6c1a0ac0 From rmkml: support for capturing from a pipe in Tethereal.
Fix up the documentation of the "-i" flag in the Ethereal man page to
note only that "netstat -i" and "ifconfig -a" *might* work, to
specifically note that not all UNIXes support the "-a" flag to
"ifconfig", and to note that pipe data must be in *standard* libpcap
format.

Document the support for pipes in the "-i" flag in Tethereal.

Ronnie Sahlberg 7775a0bec5 New tap extension to tethereal: ProtoColInfo
Using this command line option you canb now place any arbitrary display-filter fields on the COL_INFO line.

Assume you want NFS dissector in tethereal to put ALL filehandle hashes (nfs.fh.hash) on COL_INFO.
No worries, just add

-z proto,colinfo,nfs.fh.hash,nfs.fh.hash

as a parameter to tethereal.

Never again do you need to hack tethereal and recompile just because you want some extra info on the COL_INFO line.

Ronnie Sahlberg cdb4e6929c New tap extension for tethereal : ProtocolHierarchyStatistics.
Similar to what is available on ethereal:/Tools/ProtocolHierarchyStatistics
but this one can handle ALL protocols that tethereal has dissectors for.

Maybe a gtk/gtk2 version of this should replace the existing one in ethereal?


Try -z io,phs   or -z io,phs,<filter>  to test it.

Ronnie Sahlberg 93a649db6f Tap api. tap is a simple api that can be used for arbitrary extensions.
One example extension is rpcstat.

Try -Z rpc,rtt,100003,3 as argument to tethereal when reading a capture
containing NFSv3 packets.

tap-rpcstat.[ch] is intended to demonstrate the api and can be used to
base other extensions on.

Guy Harris 44d19627ef From Graeme Hewson:
Allow "-" as the output file name in Wiretap, referring to the
	standard error.

	Optimize the capture loop.

Fix some of the error-message printing code in Ethereal and Tethereal.

Have Wiretap check whether it can seek on a file descriptor, and pass
the results of that test to the file-type-specific "open for output"
routine.  Have the "open for output" routines for files where we need to
seek when writing the file return an error if seeks don't work.

Guy Harris 2abe1ac0a6 From Andrew Feren:
Man pages don't have any notion of external links and there
	isn't enough information for pod2html to resolve the links for
	manpages in the "See Also" section of the man pages.  As a
	result running pod2html generates a bunch of warning messages
	and just emphasizes/italicizes the text.

	Therefore, we change the link (L<name>) command to an emphasizes
	(I<name>) command.  The net result is the same, but you don't get
	the warnings when generating HTML docs.

	At some point in the future someone might want to do the work to
	get the links to generate correctly, but until then this will
	shut up pod2html.

Guy Harris 5a01067dff From Diana Eichert: add a "-q" flag to Tethereal to suppress packet
count display.

Update the Tethereal man page to reflect the new option.

Update both the Ethereal and Tethereal man pages to use the same style
to describe options, e.g.

	-Z	Cause Ethereal to draw the mark of Zorro on the display.

rather than

	-Z	Causes Ethereal to draw the mark of Zorro on the display.

(some were using the first and some were using the second).

Update the Ethereal man page to do the same for menu items.

Update both the Ethereal and Tethereal man pages to better describe the
"-N" flag (by noting that any form of name resolution *not* specified in
the flag is turned *off*).

Guy Harris ee1094b140 Note that Ethereal's and Tethereal's native capture file format is
libpcap format, and say that it's also used by "other tools" (tcpdump
and Ethereal/Tethereal aren't the only tools that write captures in that
format).

Weaken the claim that we read Etherpeek files to say only that we read
Etherpeek versions 5, 6, and 7 for Macintosh, so people don't conclude
that we read Etherpeek-for-Windows captures (we don't).

Guy Harris 8032fa8a1b Make the bytes-written information from Wiretap a long, as we allow

From Thomas Wittwer and Matthias Nyffenegger:

Support for "ring buffer mode", wherein there's a ring buffer of N
capture files; as each capture file reaches its maximum size (the ring
buffer works only with a maximum capture file size specified), Ethereal
rolls over to the next capture file in the ring buffer, replacing
whatever packets might be in it with new packets.
