of its own. Export that routine from capture_win_ifnames.c.
Rename GetInterfaceFriendlyNameFromDeviceGuid() to
get_interface_friendly_name_from_device_guid(), to match the style of
names of the other routines exported from capture_win_ifnames.c, and
export it as well.
Have if_info_new() use those routines, and, if parse_as_guid() fails,
treat the "description" as a friendly name rather than a vendor
description, so that we don't have a vendor description for, for
example, the device offered on some versions of Windows to handle
dial-up devices.

name". If it doesn't have a description, on OS X, use the System
Configuration framework to attempt to get a "friendly name" for
interfaces.
If a loopback device doesn't have a friendly name, give it "Loopback" as
the friendly name.
Move the "turn a CFString into a mallocated C string" routine into
common code, as it's used in more than one place.

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)"

libpcap, to put into a binary release. It's the former that's failing;
I'll back out the previous change and then work on that.

monitor mode at the same time that we fetch its list of link-layer
types. Support fetching that list in monitor mode, as the list may be
different in regular and monitor mode. If the interface supports
monitor mode, when printing the list of link-layer types, indicate
whether they're fetched in monitor mode or not, as tcpdump 4.1.x does.

link-layer header types for interfaces; if special privileges are

substitute our own (I wrote them all, so I can steal them from the
BSD-licensed libpcap if I want :-)). This means that
linktype_name_to_val() and linktype_val_to_name() are always available,
and we don't need to #ifdef use of them.
Use pcap_datalink_val_to_description() to get the description for a
particular DLT_ value, rather than mapping the DLT_ value to a
WTAP_ENCAP_ value and getting the description for the latter.

just leak the list returned by pcap_list_datalinks(), as there's no
guarantee that if you have a library built with one version of the
MSVC++ run-time library, and it returns a pointer to allocated data, you
can free that data from a program linked with another version of the
MSVC++ run-time library. (This is not an issue on UN*X.)
This should fix bug 2677.

as an argument, and, on an error, if they have an error message, have
them set that "gchar *" to point to a g_malloc()ed string containing the
error message, rather than taking a pointer to a buffer for that message
as an argument. That's more like what's done in Wiretap, and doesn't
impose an upper limit on the lengths of those error messages. If that
pointer is null, don't allocate the message string and return it.
Have that error message already have the "cant_get" processing applied
to it, so nobody other than those routines need to call the "cant_get"
routines to process the error messages.
Have get_airpcap_interface_list() explicitly set "*err" to the
appropriate error code.
Clean up indentation.

warnings.
Include "wiretap/libpcap.h" in "capture_loop.h", to get its declarations
of data structures for headers in libpcap files. This lets us remove
the includes of "wiretap/libpcap.h from files including
"capture_loop.h".
Make "log_func_ignore()" in "tethereal.c" static, and declare some of
its arguments unused. Also get rid of an unused variable.
Include <pcap.h> before including "wiretap/wtap-capture.h", to declare
"struct pcap_pkthdr".
