Guy Harris 1bf60839c9 Move get_pcap_linktype() into dumpcap - it's not used elsewhere.

Guy Harris cc05b9250d For TShark and Wireshark, get the list of link-layer types for an
interface by running dumpcap, so that if you need privileges to open an
interface, and dumpcap has those privileges, neither TShark nor
Wireshark need them.

Guy Harris 167ab3a98c In Wireshark and TShark, run dumpcap to get interface lists and lists of
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.

Guy Harris 3b845dcce0 Move a routine into dumpcap - it's not used outside dumpcap.

Guy Harris 1514fcff5f Have the minimum snapshot length be 1 byte, and have a snapshot length
of 0 mean 65535, similar to what tcpdump does.

Fixes bug 2731.

Guy Harris 44f8cae6ab If we don't have any of the pcap_datalink_XXX_to_YYY routines,
substitute our own (I wrote them all, so I can steal them from the
BSD-licensed libpcap if I want :-)).  This means that
linktype_name_to_val() and linktype_val_to_name() are always available,
and we don't need to #ifdef use of them.

Use pcap_datalink_val_to_description() to get the description for a
particular DLT_ value, rather than mapping the DLT_ value to a
WTAP_ENCAP_ value and getting the description for the latter.

Tomas Kukosa 08bbd29c71 Support for RPCAP features in GUI (from Boris Misenov, see Bug 1366)
- retrieving the list of remote PCAP interfaces
  - password authentication support
  - UDP data fransfer
  - packet sampling (available in WinPcap 4.x)
  etc.

fix problem if non-default rpcap port is used

Gerald Combs 89a2966ced Add a "-S" flag to dumpcap, which prints out interface statistics. Use
this in the GUI rather than calling pcap_stats() directly. This gets rid
of the last pcap_open_live() call in the GUI code. Update
README.packaging.

Gerald Combs e9f1a0b692 One more step in privilege separation.
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.

Guy Harris cc22748169 Have the routines to get interface lists take a pointer to a "gchar *"
as an argument, and, on an error, if they have an error message, have
them set that "gchar *" to point to a g_malloc()ed string containing the
error message, rather than taking a pointer to a buffer for that message
as an argument.  That's more like what's done in Wiretap, and doesn't
impose an upper limit on the lengths of those error messages.  If that
pointer is null, don't allocate the message string and return it.

Have that error message already have the "cant_get" processing applied
to it, so nobody other than those routines need to call the "cant_get"
routines to process the error messages.

Have get_airpcap_interface_list() explicitly set "*err" to the
appropriate error code.

Clean up indentation.

Ulf Lamping 79053183c5 remove dependencies to pcap.h, so getting an idea what needs to be done by dumpcap in addition to the things already done now
various dumpcap related code cleanup: mainly #include's and capture engine related stuff

Guy Harris eaee2b68c5 Constify a bunch of arguments and variables, to squelch compiler
warnings.

Include "wiretap/libpcap.h" in "capture_loop.h", to get its declarations
of data structures for headers in libpcap files.  This lets us remove
the includes of "wiretap/libpcap.h from files including
"capture_loop.h".

Make "log_func_ignore()" in "tethereal.c" static, and declare some of
its arguments unused.  Also get rid of an unused variable.

Include <pcap.h> before including "wiretap/wtap-capture.h", to declare
"struct pcap_pkthdr".

Ulf Lamping 7e3a24418c rename pcap-....c/.h files to capture-pcap-....c/.h
this way, the capture prefix will "logically" group the files together and file browsers will also group them

we may want to move the files into a subdir capture later
