This is intended to replace logging in dissectors that has a
debug level with #ifdef DEBUG_foo and an extra level guarded
by a #ifdef DEBUG_EXTRA_foo.
But generally it can be used as another level of granularity
for debugging output, to avoid flooding the log with too
much information with typical usage.
Rename the filter functions without the unnecessary 'str'
suffix.
Option --log-debug or WIRESHARK_LOG_DEBUG is a list
of domains that are set to a "debug" log level. This
takes precedence over the normal log level and domain
filter options.
Enviroment variable WIRESHARK_LOG_FATAL and command line
option --log-fatal set the fatal log level. Messages with
fatal or highr priority cause the program to abort. By
default the fatal level is "error", but it can be set to
"critical" or "warning" with this option.
It is to tvb_reported_length_remaining() as
tvb_ensure_captured_length_remaining() is to
tvb_captured_length_remaining() - it throws an exception if the offset
is out of range.
(Note that an offset that's just past the end of the {reported,
captured} data is *not* out of range, it just means that there is no
data remaining. Anything *past* that is out of range and thus invalid.)
A domain filter can be given in the environment variable
'WS_LOG_DOMAINS' or in a command-line options "--log-domains".
The filter is specified as a comma separated case insensitive list,
for example:
./tshark --log-domains=main,capture
Domain data type switches from an enum to a string. There is no
constaint on adding new domains, neither in code or at runtime.
The string format is arbitrary, only positive matches will produce
output.
The circuit API was removed and replaced with the conversation
"_by_id" API that uses a single uint32 value by commit
800b26edbe
Remove the lingering references to circuits from the stream API,
since it's just used with conversations now.
Experience has shown that:
1. The current logging methods are not very reliable or practical.
A logging bitmask makes little sense as the user-facing interface (who
would want debug but not crtical messages for example?); it's
computer-friendly and user-unfriendly. More importantly the console
log level preference is initialized too late in the startup process
to be used for the logging subsystem and that fact raises a number
of annoying and hard-to-fix usability issues.
2. Coding around G_MESSAGES_DEBUG to comply with our log level mask
and not clobber the user's settings or not create unexpected log misses
is unworkable and generally follows the principle of most surprise.
The fact that G_MESSAGES_DEBUG="all" can leak to other programs using
GLib is also annoying.
3. The non-structured GLib logging API is very opinionated and lacks
configurability beyond replacing the log handler.
4. Windows GUI has some special code to attach to a console,
but it would be nice to abstract away the rest under a single
interface.
5. Using this logger seems to be noticeably faster.
Deprecate the console log level preference and extend our API to
implement a log handler in wsutil/wslog.h to provide easy-to-use,
flexible and dependable logging during all execution phases.
Log levels have a hierarchy, from most verbose to least verbose
(debug to error). When a given level is set everything above that
is also enabled.
The log level can be set with an environment variable or a command
line option (parsed as soon as possible but still later than the
environment). The default log level is "message".
Dissector logging is not included because it is not clear what log
domain they should use. An explosion to thousands of domains is
not desirable and putting everything in a single domain is probably
too coarse and noisy. For now I think it makes sense to let them do
their own thing using g_log_default_handler() and continue using the
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG mechanism with specific domains for each individual
dissector.
In the future a mechanism may be added to selectively enable these
domains at runtime while trying to avoid the problems introduced
by G_MESSAGES_DEBUG.
Add a generic function to write content to file. Use this on write
TLS session keys from UI and tshark, and for export objects.
Remove the now unused export_object_ui.[ch].
The GLib documentation says G_STRLOC includes the function name
but that is a lie[1]. Change ws_debug() to not use G_STRLOC and receive
__FILE__, __LINE__ and G_STRFUNC separately instead.

When tshark enables synchronous resolution of IP addresses to names,
forces calls to maxmind_db_lookup_ipv4()/_ipv6() to block-wait for the
maxmind response.
Proposed fix for #14691.
Have routines to report capture-file errors, using libwireshark error
codes and strings, that call through a pointer, so they can pop up
dialogs in GUI apps, print a message to the standard error on
command-line apps, and possibly do something different on server
programs.
Have init_report_message() take a pointer to structure containing those
function pointers, rather than the function pointers themselves, as
arguments.
Make other API changes to make that work.
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.
It's *not* for use by plugins, it's *only* for use by existing built-in
file type/subtype modules to provide support for an old deprecated
mechanism in Lua code.
The configuration of the build machine is not part of our public
API. 'config.h' must not be installed with system headers,
otherwise it generates all sorts of collisions and generally makes
life unpleasant.
This merge request adds:
* Decoding of ProtocolID and PPID in Component Status Protocol dissector.
* Moved SCTP PPID list from SCTP dissector into separate file sctpppids.c,
due to reuse in Component Status Protocol dissector.
* Export of sctpppid_val_ext containing the PPID list.
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.
This pull request includes:
* The "Follow DCCP stream" feature.
* Updated docbook documentation for the "Follow DCCP stream" feature.
* Test for the feature.
* Corresponding packet trace for the test.
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.)
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.
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.
When registering a custom block type, set the block type field of the
wtap_blocktype_t structure. (We may do custom blocks differently, so
this is just for now.)
When registering a standard block type, don't pass in the block type, as
we can just use the type in the wtap_blocktype_t structure.
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?)
Pull the code to register plugin taps, and the loop to register built-in
taps, into a single register_all_tap_listeners() routine.
This leaves it up to libwireshark, not to the programs using it, to know
how to register them.
We have wtap_block_set_string_option_value(),
wtap_block_set_string_option_value_format(), and
wtap_block_set_nth_string_option_value(); complete the collection and
win valuable prizes.
If you load a capture file and open any statistics dialog, you'll see the
list of collected items. Each time you press the Apply button (without entering a
display filter) another list of items will be created as a top-level entry
of the statistics tree. Only the first list will have the correct values,
all subsequent lists will not be populated.
Each statistic module defines a stat_tap_table_ui structure that contains a
stat_tap_init_cb function. This init function is called by
SimpleStatisticsDialog::fillTree before the tap listener is registered. This
happens each time we collect the statistics.
However, it seems that all init functions create a new stat_tap_table each
time they are called, even if they already have an existing stat_tap_table
of the same name.
This patch adds a stat_tap_find_table function to find a table by name.
As a first step, we update the ANSI A-I/F BSMAP Statistics to check if its
table is already registered. If it is, the table will not be created again.
This adds a function to parse a string date-time in ISO 8601 format into
a `nstime_t` structure. It's based on code from epan/tvbuff.c and
wiretap/nettrace_3gpp_32_423.c and meant to eventually replace both.
(Currently only replaces the latter.)
Since most of Wireshark expects ISO 8601 date-times to fit a fairly
strict pattern, iso8601_to_nstime() currently rejects date-times without
separators between the components, even though ISO 8601 actually permits
this. This could be revisited later.
Also uses iso8601_to_nstime in editcap to parse the -A/-B options,
thus allowing the user to specify a time zone if desired. (See #17110)
Convert wiretap/ascend.y.in from Bison/YACC to Lemon and rename it to
wiretap/ascend_parser.lemon. Tighten up some of our scanning and
parsing. Make the indentation in it and related files consistent. Aside
from the recent IPv4 fragment offset changes, this produces identical
output to the 3.4 branch for the Ascend trace files I have here.
Remove the comment about supporting other commands. Another timeline
might have an Ascend that successfully pivoted to DSL or 15625B+1D
gigabit ISDN, but this one has neither.
This was our last/only Bison/YACC file, so remove Bison/YACC as a
development and packaging dependency and remove references to it from
the documentation.
Pull the value-formatting code in proto_custom_set into
proto_item_fill_display_label. Use that in FieldInformation::toString
instead of fvalue_to_string_repr. Fixes#16911.
