Gerald Combs 8d88f3a790 Make pcap-ng the default. Add a compile-time option to prefer pcap-ng or
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.

Anders Broman cf3d8e1b69 From Cal Turney:
1.) The resolution of the time values displayed by tshark's "-z io,stat, ..."
should be increased from milliseconds to microseconds (from 3 to 6 decimal
places) in order to be consistent with -z relative time-related options such as
"-z smb,rtt" and "-z rpc,rtt" which display values to 5 decimal places. 
[Please note that separate enhancement requests for 6 decimal of precision in
Wireshark will be submitted shortly.)  

2.) The "frames  bytes" column displayed in '-z io,stat' is too narrow, frames
    and bytes should each have 15 spaces like all the other column types. 

3.) The types "FRAMES" and "BYTES" should be added to allow users to display
    these values separately and allow for filters to be specified.  

4.) The 'SUM' option should allow for relative time values such as SRTs to be
    summed.  This would be useful for the calculation of such things as
    request concurrency (total_SRT_time / duration).

5.) The tshark man page needs some corrections and readability improvements

Stig Bjørlykke 65910b2479 From Edwin Groothuis via bug 5870:
The supplied patch adds a new option -O, which specifies a list of protocols
(names can be found with the "-G protocols" option) to be fully decoded while
the others only show the layer header.

Chris Maynard 5abfa49525 Add conversation tracking and tshark tap support to ICMPv6. Fixes bug 5810.
TODO: Add a Wireshark tap or look into possibly using the stats tree instead.
Also, like ICMP, the ICMPv6 payload appears to carry the sender's timestamp, so
it might be possible to make use of this information to estimate the total SRT.
(See bug 5770 for more details.)

Bill Meier 9121c18590 IMHO capinfos, when finished processing, should exit with an error status
if an error occurred while processing.
E.G.,: For the default (no -C option):
  'capinfos invalid.xxx' or 'capinfos a.pcap invalid.xxx c.pcap'
 should exit with an error status
  (after processing all the input args) if there is an error for invalid.xxx.

With this fix, I expect fuzz-test.sh (and list_protos_in_cap.sh
and presumably other scripts) will work a bit more as as expected.

Chris Maynard 595e5e1c1d Add ICMP tap support, and add a tshark tap to measure such things as:
* Number of ICMP echo requests, replies, lost replies and percent loss.
  * Min, Max, Average SRT (Service Response Time), and standard deviation.
(This is my first tap, so hopefully I didn't miss something, but we'll see ...)

Gerald Combs fcf51fc73b Add initial pcapng name resolution record support. Wireshark has read
support; TShark has read+write support. Additionally TShark can read a
"hosts" file and write those records to a capture file.

This uses "struct addrinfo" in many places and probably won't compile on
some platforms.

Jeff Morriss 0c4e881911 Introduce, and start using, tvb_get_const_stringz(). This function returns a
pointer to a NULL-terminated string in the TVB.  It is no safer than dissectors
which call tvb_get_strsize() and then tvb_get_ptr() but it makes it clear that
this usage of tvb_get_ptr() is safe.

This function is slightly more efficient than tvb_get_ephemeral_stringz()--but
only as long as we're not using composite TVBs.

Guy Harris a8bc4a0d13 Rename the routines that handle dissector tables with unsigned integer
keys to have _uint in their names, to match the routines that handle
dissector tables with string keys.  (Using _port can confuse people into
thinking they're intended solely for use with TCP/UDP/etc. ports when,
in fact, they work better for things such as Ethernet types, where the
binding of particular values to particular protocols are a lot
stronger.)

Jeff Morriss 7d20440ff0 Introduce 2 new environment variables: WIRESHARK_EP_VERIFY_POINTERS and
WIRESHARK_SE_VERIFY_POINTERS that control whether or not we verify if a given

Turn the behavior off by default for speed reasons (the speed difference isn't
huge, but...).

Turn the behavior on when fuzz testing.
