Guy Harris d26ea2b24d Use L<> on all links.
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.

Ulf Lamping e43c7d56fe from Jaap Keuter:
The attached patch extends the synopsys and adds an 'Examples' chapter to
the editcap documentation.

I've edited this a bit, without the real knowledge :-(, to make it:

a. look better
b. make more sense (at least to me)

Guy Harris 2abe1ac0a6 From Andrew Feren:
Man pages don't have any notion of external links and there
	isn't enough information for pod2html to resolve the links for
	manpages in the "See Also" section of the man pages.  As a
	result running pod2html generates a bunch of warning messages
	and just emphasizes/italicizes the text.

	Therefore, we change the link (L<name>) command to an emphasizes
	(I<name>) command.  The net result is the same, but you don't get
	the warnings when generating HTML docs.

	At some point in the future someone might want to do the work to
	get the links to generate correctly, but until then this will
	shut up pod2html.

Guy Harris be0b8a2d31 Fix up various product names and descriptions in the lists of file
formats we can read; include vendor names.

We should be able to read TokenPeek captures, as well as captures from
the Windows versions of EtherPeek.

Don't list the version numbers for EtherPeek and TokenPeek - those are
file format version numbers, not program version numbers.

Guy Harris d8146abd0e The Visual Networks tool that generates capture files that we now can
read is Visual UpTime.

svn path=/trunk/; revision=4339
2001-12-05 21:42:07 +00:00
Guy Harris ee1094b140 Note that Ethereal's and Tethereal's native capture file format is
libpcap format, and say that it's also used by "other tools" (tcpdump
and Ethereal/Tethereal aren't the only tools that write captures in that
format).

Weaken the claim that we read Etherpeek files to say only that we read
Etherpeek versions 5, 6, and 7 for Macintosh, so people don't conclude
that we read Etherpeek-for-Windows captures (we don't).

Guy Harris 8127f13e9f Don't capitalize the names of programs in the summary lines of man pages
- at least some versions of makewhatis (e.g., the Solaris version)
uses that name in a case-sensitive fashion, so you can't do "man
ethereal", say, you have to do "man Ethereal", and that doesn't work as
the man page file is "ethereal.1", not "Ethereal.1".

Guy Harris 7de3b988bd In the final scene of the horror movie, just when you think the monster
is finally dead, and you're walking away, it springs up again and
attacks.

It appears that the ss990915 version of Alexey Kuznetzov's libpcap patch
has some extra stuff in the per-packet header for some sort of SMP
debugging, and that SuSE Linux 6.3 picked it up.

Thus, even if a libpcap file has the modified magic number, we *still*
have to go through the usual heuristic hell to figure out what type of
file it is.

svn path=/trunk/; revision=2002
2000-05-25 09:00:24 +00:00
Guy Harris 4c071627ed Add a "-s" flag to editcap, to make it truncate packets to a specified
snapshot length before writing them to the output file; this may come in
handy if you are translating the file to a different format so that it
can be read by a program that can't handle packets above a certain size
(e.g., the snoop in Solaris 2.5.1 or 2.6, which reject Ethernet packets
larger than the Ethernet MTU, and thus can't handle gigabit Ethernet
captures using jumbo frames).

2000-04-27 00:31:30 +00:00
Guy Harris dc8fa8baf3 Note that the "-T" flag doesn't cause "editcap" to translate link-layer
headers, it just causes it to force the encapsulation type of the output
file to the specified type.
