This adds support to Wireshark for custom context menus for packets, so
that when a packet's context menu is opened (e.g., by right-clicking),
Wireshark can support doing things like "run a program" or
"open a URL" with a field from the packet as a parameter. Note that
this is similar to ArcSight's integration commands feature.
For example, it could be used like the following:
```
ROBTEX_URL = "https://www.robtex.com/dns-lookup/"
local function search_robtex(...)
local fields = {...};
for i, field in ipairs( fields ) do
if (field.name == 'http.host') then
browser_open_url(ROBTEX_URL .. field.value)
break
end
end
end
register_packet_menu("Search host in Robtex", search_robtex, "http.host");
```
Fixes issue #14998
Return an struct containing error information. This simplifies
the interface to more easily provide richer diagnostics in the future.
Add an error code besides a human-readable error string to allow
checking programmatically for errors in a robust manner. Currently
there is only a generic error code, it is expected to increase
in the future.
Move error location information to the struct. Change callers and
implementation to use the new interface.
Rename dissector_handle_get_long_name() and
dissector_handle_get_short_name() to
dissector_handle_get_protocol_long_name() and
dissector_handle_get_protocol_short_name(), to clarify that they fetch
names for the protocol that the dissector dissects, not for the
dissector *itself*. Leave a deprecated
dissector_handle_get_short_name() wrapper, and export
dissector_handle_get_protocol_long_name(), as it's now used in some
dissectors.
Change some calls to dissector_handle_get_description() back to
dissector_handle_get_protocol_short_name(), as they appear to be made in
order to display a *protocol* name.
Rename some methods, variables, enums, and table column names to reflect
cases where the dissector description is being used.
It defaults to the short name of the protocol dissected by the
descriptor, but it's now possible to register a dissector with an
explicit description.
This is mainly for use in the Decode As UI. It handles the case where
the same protocol might have different "Decode As..."-specifiable
dissectors for different situations.
Rename wslua_util.c to wslua_utility.c so that our file name has the
form "wslua_<lower case lua module name>.c", which is the case for our
other modules.
Add a register_wslua target and have lrexlib depend on it so that
declare_wslual.h is generated in the right order. The working directory
when we create declare_wslua.h and register_wslua.c is epan/wslua,
so there's no need to explicitly set it. Remove an unneeded lrexlib
include path.

Switch to the name "Logray" for the log analyzer. Rays are biological
cousins of sharks and more people like the name "Logray" in a completely
unscientific survey here. Apologies for any inconvenience this might
cause.
Port the script that creates init.lua to Python3. The generated init.lua
removes one newline and adds another, otherwise the output is identical
to the Perl version.
Ping #18152.
Port the script that creates taps_wslua.c and taps.txt to Python3. The
generated taps_wslua.c has one less newline, otherwise the output is
identical to the Perl version. Make the "taps" configuration file an
ConfigParser / .ini file.
Ping #18152.
The warning is harmless and we want to keep upstream code
as pristine as possible (unless there is a real issue in
the code of course) so disable the warning.
Add the de facto standard Lua regex API to Wireshark. Upstream
code is copied verbatim and the module opened in the "rex" table.
This is just a user convenience and developer quality of life improvement
over the GRegex Lua API because it has always been possible to
load lrexlib-pcre2 as a Lua module from Wireshark.
This code has been unmaintained and does not pass the lrexlib test
suite. GRegex itself has been obsolescent for some time, although GNOME
has recently restarted trying to move it to PCRE2.
Remove it in preparation for a move to lrexlib-pcre2.
This allows the "needs to be reloaded" indication to be set in the close
process, as is the case for ERF; having a routine that returns the value
of that indication is not useful if it gets seet in the close process,
as the handle for the wtap_dumper is no longer valid after
wtap_dump_close() finishes.
We also get rid of wtap_dump_get_needs_reload(), as callers should get
that information via the added argument to wtap_dump_close().
Fixes#17989.
This makes it easier to understand the code, avoids conflicts
and ugly and unnecessary casts.
The field display enum has evolved over time from integer types
to a type generic parameter.
Replace:
g_snprintf() -> snprintf()
g_vsnprintf() -> vsnprintf()
g_strdup_printf() -> ws_strdup_printf()
g_strdup_vprintf() -> ws_strdup_vprintf()
This is more portable, user-friendly and faster on platforms
where GLib does not like the native I/O.
Adjust the format string to use macros from intypes.h.
These display bases work to replace unprintable characters so the
name is a misnomer. In addition they are the same option and this
display behaviour is not something that is configurable.
This does not affect encodings because all our internal text strings
need to be valid UTF-8 and the source encoding is specified using
ENC_*.
Remove the assertion for valid UTF-8 in proto.c because
tvb_get_*_string() must return a valid UTF-8 string, always, and we
don't need to assert that, it is expensive.
