WTAP_ENCAP_UNKNOWN is used for two different cases:
1. Encapsulation type values that are unsupported by libwiretap or
bogus values (and thus "unknown" to libwiretap).
2. An initial state where the encapsulation type is "not yet" known
for a file type like pcapng without a single encapsulation type in the
header, before any packets or interfaces that set the encapsulation type
have been read. (If the file has no packets, this may be the value after
the file is entirely read in.) This can be the value when an output file
is written out simultaneously with reading an input file, rather than
reading the entire input file first, and, e.g., there is a custom block
before any IDBs.
The first case can never be handled when writing out a file, but the
second case can possibly be handled, so long as (for pcapng) IDBs
are available to write when they become necessary, or (for file
types like pcap with a single link-layer type in the header) the
writer waits until a link-layer type is seen to create the output
header. (It is possible, of course, that writing would fail in the
middle if an unsupported encapsulation type appears, or if the
encapsulation becomes per-packet for file types that don't support that,
but that is an unavoidable risk when writing without reading the entire
input file(s).)
Introduce WTAP_ENCAP_NONE for the second case, and use it for pcapng,
where we guarantee that any necessary IDBs will be passed along.
Continue to use WTAP_ENCAP_UNKNOWN for the first case.
Allow pcapng files to open a file for writing with WTAP_ENCAP_NONE.
There are some other file types that support per-packet link-types,
and could also use WTAP_ENCAP_NONE, but they require more work to
generate IDBs. (Note that all of them currently are impossible to
write to pcapng when they have multiple encapsulations, even if
the encapsulations are all supported by pcapng, because they don't
properly generate IDBs.)
Remove the workaround in ef43fd48b4
for tshark writing to pcapng when the source file is WTAP_ENCAP_UNKNOWN,
since now such files will be WTAP_ENCAP_NONE and work properly (and
also work in editcap, mergcap, etc.)
Along with 8cddc32d35, fix#18449.
Use a pointer to the growing array of NRBs from the source
file, as with DSBs, so as to handle reading NRBs in the middle
of a file in one-pass mode.
Write NRBs when reading a file with editcap, or in tshark when
not dissecting packets and writing our own NRB. Continue not
to write the NRB if we're supplying our own list of address info
instead.
If we have already read the entire source file in (such as in
two-pass tshark), move all the NRBs to the beginning of the file
before packets, as done with DSBs.
When merging files with mergecap, write both sets of NRBs. (There
is no attempt to merge the NRBs by looking for common entries.)
Check for name resolution data in the middle of dumping a file,
not just at the end, and check for DSBs at the end of a file,
after all the packets. This means that Wireshark no longer writes
the NRB at the very end of the file after all the packets (which
is worse for future one-pass reads), and DSBs after all packets
are preserved.

This is a port of SiliconDust ALP decoder provided in public repository

Original Author: Nick Kelsey <nickk@silicondust.com>
USB 2.0/1.1/1.0 devices (or 3.x and newer when connected to hosts that
are not Super-Speed capable) operate at one of three speeds:
* Low-Speed (1.5 Mbps)
* Full-Speed (12 Mbps)
* High-Speed (480 Mbps)
Supporting speed specific linktypes allows speed specific dissection
without the need for user to manually set the speed.
Add a "section number" field to wtap_rec, with a presence flag, and
provide the section number (0-based) for pcapng files.
Display it (1-based) if present.
This allows the "needs to be reloaded" indication to be set in the close
process, as is the case for ERF; having a routine that returns the value
of that indication is not useful if it gets seet in the close process,
as the handle for the wtap_dumper is no longer valid after
wtap_dump_close() finishes.
We also get rid of wtap_dump_get_needs_reload(), as callers should get
that information via the added argument to wtap_dump_close().
Fixes#17989.
Add asterisks to doxygen generates for existing
supported_block_type comments.
Add < to #define's so that doxygen associates comments
with the #define above, instead of below.
Repeated words were found with:
egrep "(\b[a-zA-Z]+) +\1\b" . -Ir
and then manually reviewed.
Non-displayed strings (e.g., in comments)
were also corrected, to ease future review.
Support reloading a Lua FileHandler when this is in use for a
loaded capture file. Prompt to save the file if having unsaved
changes because the file must be reloaded.
Fixes#17615
This has a few effects on the behavior of wtap_get_compression_type()
and wtap_get_all_compression_type_extensions():
Make capinfos correctly report the compression type (instead of
saying gzip compressed for zstd and lz4 compressed files).
Makes files with the .zstd and .lz4 extension show up in the file
chooser when "Files of type" is set to something other than "All Files",
such as "All Capture Files" or "Wireshark/... pcapng"
Makes the UI not default to gzip compression when saving a file
compressed as zstd or lz4 (write support for zstd and lz4 doesn't
exist yet, and the GUI doesn't have hooks for it anyway, though
this can help as a prerequisite for later support for writing.)
Also replace a couple of assert() with ws_assert().
Update the PURPOSE in CMakeLists for zstd and lz4 to note that they
can be used to read compressed capture files.
Bug 17478 was caused by `wtap_rec.block` being allocated for each
packet, but not freed when it was done being used -- typically at the
end of a loop.
Rather than requiring each caller of `wtap_read()` to know to free a
member of `rec`, I added a new function `wtap_rec_reset()` for a
slightly cleaner API. Added calls to it everywhere that seemed to make
sense.
Fixes#17478
"User" sounds as if the blocks belong to the user; at most, the current
user might have modified them directly, but they might also have, for
example, run a Lua script that, unknown to them, modified comments.
Also, a file might have "user comments" added by a previous user, who
them wrote the file and and provided it to the current user.
"Modified" seems a bit clearer than "changed".
Mostly functioning proof of concept for #14329. This work is intended to
allow Wireshark to support multiple packet comments per packet.
Uses and expands upon the `wtap_block` API in `wiretap/wtap_opttypes.h`.
It attaches a `wtap_block` structure to `wtap_rec` in place of its
current `opt_comment` and `packet_verdict` members to hold OPT_COMMENT
and OPT_PKT_VERDICT option values.
The name of the block, in the pcapng specification is the systemd
Journal Export Block; add "export" after "journal" in various
variable/enum/define names.
Update the pcap-ng reader and sysdig event dissector to support the second version of the sysdig event block, which was introduced after Wireshark's original implementation
Only a tiny amount of code outside libwiretap needs to know about
pcap/pcapng LINKTYPE_ values, and all that code needs to know is, for a
given LINKTYPE_ value, what the corresponding WTAP_ENCAP_ value is.
Nothing should need to know, for a given WTAP_ENCAP_ value, what its
LINKTYPE_ value is.
Make it the case that nothing *does* need to know, for a given
WTAP_ENCAP_ value, what its LINKTYPE_ value is. Export
wtap_dump_can_write_encap() and use *that*, in the "import hex dump"
code, what formats can be written to a pcap file.
Do more fixups of the "phy" based on the data rate, so that it reflects
the modulation used for the packet.
Note, in comments, why we're doing this, and that there's no reiable
way, in radiotap, to determine the type of channel on which capturing is
being done, as some packet providers use the channel field to indicate
the channel type and others use it to indicate the modulation.
Only provide the "short preamble" for "11b", as that's now being used to
mean "DSSS modulation" - packets on an 11g channel will be marked as
"11g" if they're OFDM or "11b" if they're DSSS.
Make some other cleanups while we're at it.
It only registers one file type/subtype, so rename it to
wtap_register_file_type_subtype().
That will also force plugins to be recompiled; that will produce compile
errors for some plugins that didn't change to match the new contents of
the file_type_subtype_info structure.
Also check to make sure that the registered file type/subtype supports
at least one type of block; a file type/subtype that doesn't return
*any* blocks and doesn't permit *any* block types to be written is not
very useful. That should also catch most if not all other plugins that
didn't change to match the new contents of the file_type_subtype_info
structure.
Don't make errors registering a file type/subtype fatal; just complain,
don't register the bogus file type/subtype, and drive on.
Register the pcap and pcapng file types/subtypes rather than hardwiring
them into the table.
Call the registration routines for them directly, rather than through a
generated table; they're always supposed to be there, as some code in
Wireshark either writes only one of those formats or defaults to writing
one of those formats. Don't run their source code through the
registration-routine-finder script.
Have the file type/subtype codes for them be directly exported to the
libwiretap core, and provide routines to return each of them, to be used
by the aforementioned code.
When reporting errors with cfile_write_failure_message(), use
wtap_dump_file_type_subtype() to get the file type/subtype value for the
wtap_dumper to which we're writing, rather than hardcoding it.
Have the "export PDU" code capable of supporting arbitrary file
types/subtypes, although we currently only use pcapng.
Get rid of declarations of now-static can_write_encap and
dump_open routines in various headers.
Instead of a "supports name resolution" Boolean and bitflags for types of
comments supported, provide a list of block types that the file
type/subtype supports, with each block type having a list of options
supported. Indicate whether "supported" means "one instance" or
"multiple instances".
"Supports" doesn't just mean "can be written", it also means "could be
read".
Rename WTAP_BLOCK_IF_DESCRIPTION to WTAP_BLOCK_IF_ID_AND_INFO, to
indicate that it provides, in addition to information about the
interface, an ID (implicitly, in pcapng files, by its ordinal number)
that is associated with every packet in the file. Emphasize that in
comments - just because your capture file format can list the interfaces
on which a capture was done, that doesn't mean it supports this; it
doesn't do so if the file doesn't indicate, for every packet, on which
of those interfaces it was captured (I'm looking at *you*, Microsoft
Network Monitor...).
Use APIs to query that information to do what the "does this file
type/subtype support name resolution information", "does this file
type/subtype support all of these comment types", and "does this file
type/subtype support - and require - interface IDs" APIs did.
Provide backwards compatibility for Lua.
This allows us to eliminate the WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_ values for IBM's
iptrace; do so.
Save a copy of the pathname used to open a file in the wtap structure.
This allows the BER file reader to put a pointer to it in the
pseudo-header; it also would allow file readers to attempt to read
"associated" files that have the same name as the file, but with a
different extension.
Instead of having cf_open() special-case BER files, and calling a
routine in the BER dissector to specify the file name to the dissector,
have separate dissectors for "dissect packet payload as BER" and
"dissect a file as BER", and have the latter get the pathname of the
file from the pseudo-header and determine the ASN.1 syntax from that.
(Side-effect - this means that you can now dissect a BER file, and have
the syntax be determined by the file extension, in TShark as well; the
above cf_open() special-casing was *not* done in TShark, so it didn't
work before. Now the application code doesn't need to do any of that,
so it works in TShark as well as Wireshark.)
Eliminate WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_ERF and
WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_SYSTEMD_JOURNAL - instead, fetch the values by
name, using wtap_name_to_file_type_subtype().
This requires that wtap_init() be called before epan_init(); that's
currently the case, but put in comments to indicate why it must continue
to be the case.
Provide a wiretap routine to get an array of all savable file
type/subtypes, sorted with pcap and pcapng at the top, followed by the
other types, sorted either by the name or the description.
Use that routine to list options for the -F flag for various commands
Rename wtap_get_savable_file_types_subtypes() to
wtap_get_savable_file_types_subtypes_for_file(), to indicate that it
provides an array of all file type/subtypes in which a given file can be
saved. Have it sort all types, other than the default type/subtype and,
if there is one, the "other" type (both of which are put at the top), by
the name or the description.
Don't allow wtap_register_file_type_subtypes() to override any existing
registrations; have them always register a new type. In that routine,
if there are any emply slots in the table, due to an entry being
unregistered, use it rather than allocating a new slot.
Don't allow unregistration of built-in types.
Rename the "dump open table" to the "file type/subtype table", as it has
entries for all types/subtypes, even if we can't write them.
Initialize that table in a routine that pre-allocates the GArray before
filling it with built-in types/subtypes, so it doesn't keep getting
reallocated.
Get rid of wtap_num_file_types_subtypes - it's just a copy of the size
of the GArray.
Don't have wtap_file_type_subtype_description() crash if handed an
file type/subtype that isn't a valid array index - just return NULL, as
we do with wtap_file_type_subtype_name().
In wtap_name_to_file_type_subtype(), don't use WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_
names for the backwards-compatibility names - map those names to the
current names, and then look them up. This reduces the number of
uses of hardwired WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_ values.
Clean up the type of wtap_module_count - it has no need to be a gulong.
Have built-in wiretap file handlers register names to be used for their
file type/subtypes, rather than building the table in init.lua.
Add a new Lua C function get_wtap_filetypes() to construct the
wtap_filetypes table, based on the registered names, and use it in
init.lua.
Add a #define WSLUA_INTERNAL_FUNCTION to register functions intended
only for internal use in init.lua, so they can be made available from
Lua without being documented.
Get rid of WTAP_NUM_FILE_TYPES_SUBTYPES - most code has no need to use
it, as it can just request arrays of types, and the space of
type/subtype codes can be sparse due to registration in any case, so
code has to be careful using it.
wtap_get_num_file_types_subtypes() is no longer used, so remove it. It
returns the number of elements in the file type/subtype array, which is
not necessarily the name of known file type/subtypes, as there may have
been some deregistered types, and those types do *not* get removed from
the array, they just get cleared so that they're available for future
allocation (we don't want the indices of any registered types to changes
if another type is deregistered, as those indicates are the type/subtype
values, so we can't shrink the array).
Clean up white space and remove some comments that shouldn't have been
added.
Remove most of the built-in file types from the table in
wiretap/file_access.c and, instead, have the file types register
themselves, using wtap_register_file_type_subtypes().
This reduces the source code changes needed to add a new file type from
three (add the handler, add the file type to the table in file_access.c,
add a #define for the file type in wiretap/wtap.h) to one (add the
handler). (It also requires adding the handler's source file to
wiretap/CMakeLists.txt, but that's required in both cases.)
A few remain because the WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_ #define is used
elsewhere; that needs to be fixed.
Fix the wiretap/CMakefile.txt file to scan k12text.l, as that now
contains a registration routine. In the process, avoid scanning files
that don't implement a file type and won't ever have a registration
routine.
Add a Lua routine to fetch the total number of file types; we use that
in some code to construct the wtap_filetypes table, which we need to do
in order to continue to have all the values that used to come from the
WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_ types.
While we're at it, add modelines to a file that lacked them.
The "short name" is really just the name, used to look it up. The
"name" is really a description intended solely for human consumption.
Rename the fields, and the functions that access them, to match.
The "description" maintained by Lua for file type handlers is used
*only* for one debugging message; we should probably just eliminate it.
Call it an "internal description" for now.
For most file types, blocks for which we don't have a wtap_block_type_t
aren't "custom", they're just "file-type specific". Add
WTAP_BLOCK_FT_SPECIFIC_REPORT and WTAP_BLOCK_FT_SPECIFIC_EVENT block
types; the "mandatory" part of those blocks includes a
file-type-specific block type value, with specific values assigned to
specific block types (either as part of the file type's definition, or
by us if necessary).
For pcapng files, blocks for which we don't have a wtap_block_type_t are
either "local" (block type has the high-order bit set), are defined in
the current spec but aren't supported yet (which we should fix), or are
*not* defined in the current spec and are *not* "local" (in which case
whoever's using the block number should submit a pull request to the
spec to register the block type *and* give it a specification, so we can
add support). For "local" block types and for not-yet-supported
non-"local" block types, they should be handled as file-type-specific
blocks with the file-type-specific block value being the pcapng block
type code, with plugin support in the pcapng code to read *and* write
those blocks.
Move the structures for the "mandatory" parts of blocks to
wiretap/wtap_opttypes.h, right after the definition of
wtap_block_type_t.
Instead *_register_plugin() is turned into a noop (with a warning).
The test suit is failing with ENABLE_PLUGINS=Off (it was already failing
before and this patch didn't affect that).
Closes#17202.
Change the data structure for that option to have a type field,
indicating that it's either a pcap filter string or a BPF program,
followed by a union with a string-pointer member for pcap filter strings
and an instruction-count-and-pointer-to-instructions structure for BPF
programs.
Have routines to add, set, and fetch that option that handle that
structure; discard the "generic structured option" routines. That means
there's more type checking possible at compile time.
Add more code to handle BPF programs.
When writing pcapng files, check, both for that option and for string
options, whether the option length is too big for the data to fit in a
pcapng option, and don't write it if it is. (XXX - truncate the data?
Report an error?)
S1G adapters should be shipping soon since Silex America has a dev-kit
available, so it is about time to add support for this.

It corresponds to LINKTYPE_ETW in pcap and pcapng files; the structures
in the record format come from the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) API
rather than directly from Event Trace Log files.
While we're at it, explain what extcap/etl does.
