list if the user specified a number; otherwise, if we couldn't get the
list, just use what the user specified, so they can specify interfaces
in order to test them to see why they're not showing up in the list.

anyway, so that, for example, if an interface doesn't show up in the
list for some reason, the user can try specifying it explicitly for
testing purposes.

should be used (on success, have it return 0). Exit with that exit
status; if the problem is that we couldn't get the interface list or if
there are no interfaces in that list, return 2, as that's not a
command-line syntax error.

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falls back to unpublished API functions on older windows releases.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

which to do a live capture; don't clear the latter list when closing the
capture file.
collect_ifaces() should clear out the existing list of interfaces before
filling that list up with the interfaces selected by the user. In
addition, when it frees up interfaces in that list, it should free up
the strings attached to those interfaces.

test scripts are passed.
Use a global list containing all interfaces and only change
properties of the entries when changes are made in the GUI.
Do not misuse the list of interfaces specified on the command
line anymore.
This patch does not provide any new functionality, it just
provides the base for future extensions like removing
remote interface, mulitple airpcap devices and multiple
pipes.

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.

configure that you want to capture on multiple remote interfaces
on mulitple hosts.
Improve some #ifdef mess in dumpcap.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=37178
Use consistent naming of variables on capture_options.
Make pcap sampling independent of remote capturing, since
it seems to work local pcap devices using winpcap (at
least that is what the documentation says).

parameters. An array of interface specific data is handled
in addition to the current way.
This change should not have any effect right now, it will
be used by dumpcap when supporting multiple interfaces
(and tshark/wireshark... in the future).
