argument to the -F flag for pcap format is "libpcap", not "pcap", we
have a problem. Make it "pcap", and add a backwards-compatibility hack
to support using "libpcap" as well.
Update the man pages to refer to it as pcap as well, and fix the
capitalization of "WinPcap" (see http://www.winpcap.org) while we're at
it.
Also, refer to http://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html for the list of
link-layer header types for pcap and pcap-ng.

configurable via command line options and print specific drop numbers
at the end. This allows to tune the buffering when using multiple
threads.
This also fixes a logic arrow in enforcing the limits.
The patch for the enhanced counters is from Anders Broman.

Add that option to tshark, too, and document it.
The option can't be given to Wireshark because the GUI already has a "-g"
(goto packet).

pcap. Add a "-P" capture option which tries to use pcap instead of
pcap-ng ("-P" seemed to be the best option but we may want to use a
different letter).
Update the documentation and release notes.

being the only program that needs to be linked with *pcap, that's when
we'd want to fetch that information, but there might be other libraries
(e.g., the POSIX capabilities library) that it might be linked with but
that programs that use it aren't linked with.
Don't commit to the output formats of -M, as they are, as noted, subject
to change from release to release.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=32904
Add support for a machine-readable "-v" output, which prints only the
pcap version string.
Give a little more information about the machine-readable format, but
note that it's primarily intended for consumption by Wireshark and
TShark and is subject to change.
Properly hyphenate "pcap-ng".

libpcap/WinPcap and the capture mechanism atop which they run might
either silently limit the buffer size to a smaller value or raise it to
a higher value - that's the part that's platform-dependent.

tcpdump (in the tcpdump package) into its own manpage
(pcap-filter) in the libpcap package in the CVS HEAD
branch. Reference the new and the old location for that
information.

that "-D" and "-L" should produce machine-readable output. Use this to
move an indirect get_pcap_linktype() call from the GUI to dumpcap.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=22367
Add a capture_interface_list(), which works similar to
get_interface_list() except that it forks dumpcap instead of calling
the pcap routines directly. Use it in the GUI.
Add a "-I" flag to dumpcap, which prints out verbose interface
information.
Tested under Windows and Linux.

Don't use anything on man page references - pod2man handles that.
Don't refer to "the capture file format section" of the Wireshark man
page, as there's no section explicitly labelled as such; just refer to
the beginning of the DESCRIPTION section.
