wtap_file_read_expected_bytes() from an open routine - open routines are
supposed to return -1 on error, 0 if the file doesn't appear to be a
file of the specified type, or 1 if the file does appear to be a file of
the specified type, but those macros will cause the caller to return
FALSE on errors (so that, even if there's an I/O error, it reports "the
file isn't a file of the specified type" rather than "we got an error
trying to read the file").
When doing reads in an open routine before we've concluded that the file
is probably of the right type, return 0, rather than -1, if we get
WTAP_ERR_SHORT_READ - if we don't have enough data to check whether a
file is of a given type, we should keep trying other types, not give up.
For reads done *after* we've concluded the file is probably of the right
type, if a read doesn't return the number of bytes we asked for, but
returns an error of 0, return WTAP_ERR_SHORT_READ - the file is
apparently cut short.
For NetMon and NetXRay/Windows Sniffer files, use a #define for the
magic number size, and use that for both magic numbers.

which could use lseek() and were thus expensive due to system call
overhead. To avoid making a system call for every packet on a
sequential read, we maintained a data_offset field in the wtap structure
for sequential reads.
It's now a routine that just returns information from the FILE_T data
structure, so it's cheap. Use it, rather than maintaining the data_offset
field.
Readers for some file formats need to maintain file offset themselves;
have them do so in their private data structures.

by Wiretap, to indicate whether certain fields in that structure
actually have data in them.
Use the "time stamp present" flag to omit showing time stamp information
for packets (and "packets") that don't have time stamps; don't bother
working very hard to "fake" a time stamp for data files.
Use the "interface ID present" flag to omit the interface ID for packets
that don't have an interface ID.
We don't use the "captured length, separate from packet length, present"
flag to omit the captured length; that flag might be present but equal
to the packet length, and if you want to know if a packet was cut short
by a snapshot length, comparing the values would be the way to do that.
More work is needed to have wiretap/pcapng.c properly report the flags,
e.g. reporting no time stamp being present for a Simple Packet Block.

same.
Add to wiretap/pcap-common.c a routine to fill in the pseudo-header for
ATM (by looking at the VPI, VCI, and packet data, and guessing) and
Ethernet (setting the FCS length appropriately). Use it for both pcap
and pcap-ng files.
