Gerald Combs 1cd0689882 Revision 27919 added the ability to feed a libpcap-formatted file to
rawshark but broke the ability to feed it live packets with a
pcap_pkthdr prefix on some 64-bit architectures.

Add a "-p" flag which lets us explicitly handle file-based or
memory-based packet record headers.

Bill Meier 15851701e8 Rework "extended value strings":
- Allow direct access when a range of values begins with a value other than 0;
- Provide value_string_ext_new() for creating extended value strings at runtime;
- Do access to value_string_ext members via a macro (all but value_string.c);
- Update documentation.

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
pointer is ep_ or se_ allocated, respectively.

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

Turn the behavior on when fuzz testing.

Document these two new variables in the man pages.

load. Add comments about DLL loading in Python.

Gerald Combs e1a9e4e84f From Reinhard Speyerer via bug 4779:
From reading the rawshark(1) manpage my assumption was that rawshark
could be used like
$ /usr/bml/bin/rawshark -s -r test.pcap -d encap:EN10MB ...

However rawshark either expects the -r argument to be -
(read from stdin) or a pipe which results in the following error
message:

rawshark: ".../test.pcap" is neither an interface nor a pipe

The proposed rawshark.pod patch updates the -r description to
the implemented rawshark functionality.

The patch also applies to the current SVN version.

Gerald Combs 07354a18c1 From Jim Young via bug 4331:
This patch adds a new '-S' option to editcap that will rewrite timestamps of
packets to insure that the new capture file is in strict chronological order.

This option's primary use case is to fixup the occasional timestamps that have
a negative delta time relative to previous packet.

This feature is related to (but does not depend on) capinfos enhancement
submitted in bug #4315 which helps identify tracefiles with "out-of-order"
packets.

Guy Harris 72ed0558f2 Don't have -M affect -v yet; if we end up, for example, having dumpcap
being the only program that needs to be linked with *pcap, that's when
we'd want to fetch that information, but there might be other libraries
(e.g., the POSIX capabilities library) that it might be linked with but
that programs that use it aren't linked with.

Don't commit to the output formats of -M, as they are, as noted, subject
to change from release to release.

TShark and is subject to change.

Guy Harris 547b9e48a2 The default capture buffer size is, in fact, *nominally* 1MB; however,
libpcap/WinPcap and the capture mechanism atop which they run might
either silently limit the buffer size to a smaller value or raise it to
a higher value - that's the part that's platform-dependent.

the date/time in local time or UTC. (int)ABSOLUTE_TIME_LOCAL ==
(int)BASE_NONE, so there's no source or binary compatiblity issue,
although we might want to eliminate BASE_NONE at some point and have the
BASE_ values used with integral types start at 0, so that you can't
specify BASE_NONE for an integral field.

Indicate that it will never be possible to record in a header_field_info
a byte order for all fields, as some protocols do not specify the
endianness of fields (for example, DCE RPC uses "receiver makes it
right", with the sender sending data in its byte order, with an
indication in the packet of what that byte order is).

Jaap Keuter 25470e5663 From Jim Young:
The ability to continue processing additional files if and when 
wtap_open_offline() should fail.  A new -C option reverts to capinfos' 
original behavior which is to cancel any further file processing at 
first file open failure.

Change the behavior of how the default display of all infos is initiated.
This gets rid of a special post getopt() argument count test.

Add new table output format (with related options). This feature allows 
outputting the various infos into a tab delimited text file, or to a comma 
separated variables file (*.csv) instead of the original "long" format.

Guy Harris cf91fdf16b Have tap listeners specify whether the "packet" routine requires
a protocol tree;

	the column values.

This includes stats-tree listeners.

Have the routines to build the packet list, and to retap packets, honor
those requirements.  This means that cf_retap_packets() no longer needs
an argument to specify whether to construct the column values or not, so
get rid of that argument.

This also means that there's no need for a tap to have a fake filter
to ensure that the protocol tree will be built, so don't set up a fake
"frame" filter.

While we're at it, clean up some cases where "no filter" was represented
as a null string rather than a null pointer.

Have a routine to return an indication of the number of tap listeners
with filters; use that rather than the global num_tap_filters.

Clean up some indentation and some gboolean vs. gint items.

of static e_ip buffers, I didn't test it, but I hope it's ok.

There's note about static buffers in doc/README.tapping, which should
also be updated, but I don't feel so good with my English :)

Anders Broman da85c3dfab From Alexey Neyman :
This patch implements a function for dissecting bitfields with better control
over the resulting representation than the existing proto_tree_add_bitmask()
routine. This function will be used by reworked IPMI/ATCA dissector (bug 2048).

The function is described in README.developer. In short, the differences are as
follows:

- The new function does not require a hf_XXX field for the whole bitmask. When
the bitmask includes several unrelated fields, such hf_XXX field does not make
sense.

- The new function allows better control over the way the sub-item descriptions
are added to the top-level item. For example, proto_tree_add_bitmask() function
does not add non-enumerated integers, does not use true_false_string to display
boolean.

- The new function allows to specify "fallback" text for the top-level item
which is used if no items were added to the top-level item.
