/* Name we give to the child process when doing a "-S" capture. */
|
If we're given the "-k" flag, don't start the capture until after we've:
popped up the top-level window (so that it looks like a capture
started from "Capture/Start");
initialized the colors (so that we don't dump core when reading
in the capture file);
popped up any message box for failure to read the preferences
file.
This means we start the capture in "main()", rather than in the realize
callback for the main window, so get rid of that callback.
If we're a child process that's just capturing to a file for our parent
to read, however, we shouldn't pop up the top-level window, because
that's our parent's job; when running that child, set its "argv[0]" to a
special name, so that
1) it shows up in a "ps" with a special name;
2) we don't have to invent Yet Another Flag to say "you're the
child".
(We may want to use the name to turn on *all* behaviors that the capture
child, and only the capture child, should exhibit.)
If "-w" and "-k" were both specified, attempt to open the file specified
by "-w" and, if that succeeds, set "cf.save_file_fd" to refer to it, so
that "-w" plus "-k" works again, rather than popping up a "The file to
which the capture would be saved ... could not be opened: Bad file
descriptor." message box.

Add a new global flag "capture_child", which is TRUE if we're a child
process for a sync mode or fork mode capture.
Have that flag control whether we do things that *only* the parent or
*only* the child should do, rather than basing it solely on the setting
of "sync_mode" or "fork_mode" (or, in the case of stuff done in the
child process either in sync mode or fork mode, rather than basing it on
the setting of those flags at all).
Split "do_capture()" into a "run_capture()" routine that starts a
capture (possibly by forking off and execing a child process, if we're
supposed to do sync mode or fork mode captures), and that assumes the
file to which the capture is to write has already been opened and that
"cf.save_file_fd" is the file descriptor for that file, and a
"do_capture()" routine that creates a temporary file, getting an FD for
it, and calls "run_capture()".
Use "run_capture()", rather than "capture()", for "-k" captures, so that
it'll do the capture in a child process if "-S" or "-F" was specified
("do_capture()" won't do because "-k" captures should write to the file
specified by the "-w" flag, not some random temporary file).
For child process captures, however, just use "capture()" - the child
process shouldn't itself fork off a child if we're in sync or fork mode,
and should just write to the file whose file descriptor was specified by
the "-W" flag on the command line.
All this allows you to do "ethereal -S -w <file> -i <interface> -k" to
start a sync mode capture from the command line.
