Check for errors when printing packets.
Report failure to open a print destination and failure to write to a
print destination differently.
Don't have the "print preamble" and "print final" routines return

Report write errors when printing dissections in Tethereal.
Report print errors as errors, not warnings.

translate UNIX errno values to a somewhat friendly message format
string.
Rename "file_open_error_message()" in "file.c" to
"cf_open_error_message()", make "cf_open_error_message()" use the new
"file_open_error_message()" for UNIX errno values, have "do_capture()"
in "capture.c" use "file_open_error_message()" to report errors from
"open()", and make "cf_open_error_message()" static as nothing outside
"file.c" uses it.
Do similar stuff in "tethereal.c".

DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_{SRC,OBJECTS}.
Add some additional files, required by dissectors, to those lists.
Extract the stuff to get version information strings for libraries and
the OS, which is *not* needed by dissectors, from "util.c", which
contains routines that *are* needed by dissectors, and put it into a
separate file.
Make "dftest" link only with the dissector support stuff, not with all
of the Ethereal common files.

libpcap than in tcpdump.org libpcap; it's been deprecated for that
reason. "pcap_open_dead()" has been in libpcap since 0.6, so only for
0.5[.x] will you have "pcap_compile_nopcap()" but not "pcap_open_dead()"
- for now, we use "pcap_open_dead()" rather than
"pcap_compile_nopcap()", and don't do the check for capture filters in
systems with libpcaps that lack "pcap_open_dead()".

expired *before* writing a packet, rather than *after* writing a packet,
so that if you get no packets for a sufficiently long period that the
timeout expires before you get a new packet, the new packet is in the
beginning of a new file (as you might get more packets right after that,
and want them to be in the new file, rather than have the first packet
at the end of one file and the rest of the packets in another file).

Ethereal presents a column to display culmulative bytes into the capture.
A new column type is added : Culmulative Bytes.
While PacketLength column type specifies the number of bytes in the current packet,
Culmulative Bytes specifies the culmulative number of bytes from the start of the capture.

don't assume that a dissector handle has a protocol associated
with it (there's none for the "OSI network layer" dissector, for
example, as that dissector hands off to one of several protocols
based on the NLPID);
rename a few functions to have names that better explain what
they do;
have separate functions to show all the layer types (dissector
tables) and to show all the protocols supported for a layer
type, and have both of them take, as an argument, the standard
I/O stream to which they should write;
improve the parser for the "-d" option to give more information
on errors;
fix up some comments.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=7949
Almost completely rewritten in order to:
- be able to use a unlimited number of ringbuffer files
0 specified with -b argument or in the GUI, means that the number of file
is unlimited.
else the maximum number of ring buffer files is arbitrarily set to 1024.
- close the current file and open (truncating it) the next file at switch
- set the final file name once open (or reopen)
- avoid the deletion of files that could not be truncated (can't arise now)
and do not erase empty files
The idea behind that is to remove the limitation of the maximum # of
ringbuffer files being less than the maximum # of open fd per process
and to be able to reduce the amount of virtual memory usage (having only
one file open at most) or the amount of file system usage (by truncating
the files at switch and not the capture stop, and by closing them which
makes possible their move or deletion after a switch).
svn path=/trunk/; revision=7912
Add a new routine to iterate through all dissector tables, calling a
routine for each table, to support having the "-d" code list all
dissector tables.
Get rid of "dissector_handle_get_dissector_name()"; it was put in there
for "-d", but turns out not to be necessary for that.
Clean up the usage message a bit (using the convention, adhered to by at
least some UNIX utilities, of listing all the flags with no arguments in
a single lump, and then listing the ones with arguments individually,
and also putting "-v" and "-h" in a separate lump, as Ethereal does).
svn path=/trunk/; revision=7788
when the new "Rotate capture file every n second(s)" checkbox or the
-b <# of file>[:<duration>] argument are used, [t]ethereal will skip to the
next ring buffer file if the specified duration has elapsed (even if the
specified capture size is not reached). This is useful when you want to have
separate capture files per hour or day for instance.
I let the autostop filesize parameter mandatory (i.e. the "rotate capture
file after n kilobytes") but this could be no longer strictly necessary when
that new feature is used ...
Another point: it might be interesting to really truncate the file at the
switch and not the closure ... According to user comments and my own real
case tests, I might plan to enhance this point and others (still ring buffer
related) in the future.

in all signal handlers that could modify it (i.e. by calling system
calls or worst standard C library functions).
Else the following code for instance is buggy if a signal arises between
the tests:
if (system_call() == -1) {
if (errno == Exxx) {
...
} else {
...
}
}
And MANY (open source or not) programs are broken that way ...

Support can be enabled at configure time by using "--with-adns=DIR".
If support is enabled, async queries happen whenever host name resolution
is enabled. Do we need a separate preference for async queries?
Currently, only IPv4 reverse queries are supported. I can add IPv4 forward
lookup support, but I don't have any way to test IPv6 queries.

registration routines, for taps with menu items (taps that can be run
from the "Tools->Statistics" menu), create the menu item for the tap.
"make-tapreg-dotc" constructs a "register_all_tap_menus()" function that
calls all the tap menu item registration routines it finds, and Ethereal
calls that routine after the main window has been constructed (so that
the main menu exists, as the menu items are added to it). (Tethereal
doesn't call it.)
Get rid of the "menu" and "menu_init" arguments to
"register_ethereal_tap"; the menu item is registered in the tap's menu
item registration routine, not in its main registration routine.
Have the RTP GUI tap register its menu item that way, rather than by
having it compiled into "gtk/menu.c". (We're not ready yet to have taps
whose menu items are under a submenu register themselves in that
fashion, as "register_tap_menu_item()" can't yet create submenus.)

to "protect" what's currently in the column, so that attempts to clear
the column will only clear stuff after the fence and attempts to
overwrite the column will append stuff after the fence. This, for
example, allows a dissector to arrange that the Info column contain
information for its protocol and for protocols running atop it.
