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falls back to unpublished API functions on older windows releases.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)"

interface statistics, have its error messages come out as sync-pipe
errors, have it send a sync-pipe "success" message on success, and have
the callers get that message and display it.

build without libpcap, to make sure that works, and then do a build with
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.

if_capabilities_t - it doesn't fail on Snow Leopard, even if I undefine
HAVE_PCAP_CREATE, and doesn't fail on the Leopard PPC buildbot, either.

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
necessary to open capture devices, Wireshark and TShark shouldn't have
those privileges, but dumpcap should.
