version of libpcap; that's used on Linux for captures on the "any"
device (which captures from all interfaces simultaneously) and for
captures on devices whose link-layer type libpcap doesn't (yet) support
natively.
The spanning tree code, when checking for GV{M,R,...}P packets, must
first check whether the link-layer destination address is, in fact, an
Ethernet-style address; on Linux cooked captures, there *is* no
destination address, so it's of type AT_NONE, not AT_ETHER.

Add in stuff for a bunch of libpcap formats either in libpcap 0.5.2 or
in the current CVS version; we don't implement all of them in
Ethereal/Wiretap (those are "#if 0"ed out), but we do implement the IEEE
802.11 stuff (which isn't yet in libpcap or tcpdump, but the CVS version
of libpcap *does* reserve 105 as the encapsulation type number for
802.11).

a "keep reading" boolean value is returned from the function.
This avoids having to hack around the fact that some file formats truly

a pointer to the "wtap_pkthdr" structure for an open capture
file;
a pointer to the "wtap_pseudo_header" union for an open capture
file;
a pointer to the packet buffer for an open capture file;
so that a program using "wtap_read()" in a loop can get at those items.
Keep, in a "capture_file" structure, an indicator of whether:
no file is open;
a file is open, and being read;
a file is open, and is being read, but the user tried to quit
out of reading the file (e.g., by doing "File/Quit");
a file is open, and has been completely read.
Abort if we try to close a capture that's being read if the user hasn't
tried to quit out of the read.
Have "File/Quit" check if a file is being read; if so, just set the
state indicator to "user tried to quit out of it", so that the code
reading the file can do what's appropriate to clean up, rather than
closing the file out from under that code and causing crashes.
Have "read_cap_file()" read the capture file with a loop using
"wtap_read()", rather than by using "wtap_loop()"; have it check after
reading each packet whether the user tried to abort the read and, if so,
close the capture and return an indication that the read was aborted by
the user. Otherwise, return an indication of whether the read
completely succeeded or failed in the middle (and, if it failed, return
the error code through a pointer).
Have "continue_tail_cap_file()" read the capture file with a loop using
"wtap_read()", rather than by using "wtap_loop()"; have it check after
reading each packet whether the user tried to abort the read and, if so,
quit the loop, and after the loop finishes (even if it read no packets),
return an indication that the read was aborted by the user if that
happened. Otherwise, return an indication of whether the read
completely succeeded or failed in the middle (and, if it failed, return
the error code through a pointer).
Have "finish_tail_cap_file()" read the capture file with a loop using
"wtap_read()", rather than by using "wtap_loop()"; have it check after
reading each packet whether the user tried to abort the read and, if so,
quit the loop, and after the loop finishes (even if it read no packets),
close the capture and return an indication that the read was aborted by
the user if that happened. Otherwise, return an indication of whether
the read completely succeeded or failed in the middle (and, if it
failed, return the error code through a pointer).
Have their callers check whether the read was aborted or not and, if it
was, bail out in the appropriate fashion (exit if it's reading a file
specified by "-r" on the command line; exit the main loop if it's
reading a file specified with File->Open; kill the capture child if it's
"continue_tail_cap_file()"; exit the main loop if it's
"finish_tail_cap_file()".

there's no need to keep it around in memory - when the frame data is
read in when handing a frame, read in the information, if any, necessary
to reconstruct the frame header, and reconstruct it. This saves some
memory.
This requires that the seek-and-read function be implemented inside
Wiretap, and that the Wiretap handle remain open even after we've
finished reading the file sequentially.
This also points out that we can't really do X.25-over-Ethernet
correctly, as we don't know where the direction (DTE->DCE or DCE->DTE)
flag is stored; it's not clear how the Ethernet type 0x0805 for X.25
Layer 3 is supposed to be handled in any case. We eliminate
X.25-over-Ethernet support (until we find out what we're supposed to
do).

from the frame table - Network Monitor 2.x, at least, doesn't always
write frame N+1 right after frame N.
To do that, we need to mallocate a big array to hold the frame table,
and free it when we close the capture file; this requires that we have
capture-file-type-specific close routines as well as
capture-file-type-specific read routines - we let it the pointer to that
routine be null if it's not needed. Given that, we might as well get
rid of the switch statement in "wtap_close()", in favor of using
capture-file-type-specific close routines, as per the comment before
that switch statement.

hideous problem on FreeBSD 3.[23] (and perhaps other BSDs) if
HAVE_UNISTD_H is defined before "zlib.h" is included, turn "file_seek()"
into a subroutine defined in a file that *undefines* HAVE_UNISTD_H
before including "zlib.h", so that the *only* call to "gzseek()" is made
from a file that does not have HAVE_UNISTD_H defined when it includes
"zlib.h".
Move "file_error()" to that file while you're at it, so it holds all the
wrappers that hide the presence or absence of zlib from routines to read
capture files.
Turn "file.h", which declared those wrapper functions as well as wrapper
macros, into "file_wrapper.h" - it belongs with the "file_wrapper.c"
file that defines the wrapper functions, not with "file.c" which handles
higher-layer file access functions.
Remove the comment in "configure.in" that explained why defining
HAVE_UNISTD_H was a bad idea, as we're not obliged to define it and work
around the problem. (The comment in "file_wrapper.c" explains the
workaround.)

Giving each dumpable file type a routine that checks whether a file of a
given file type and encapsulation can be written lets us hoist some
checks into common code from out of the open routines.
If the "dump close" routine for a dump stream is NULL, have that mean
that there's no action that needs to be taken on a close by the code to
handle that file type; some file types don't need that, as they can be
written purely sequentially.

<flo@rfc822.org> for the sample traces.
It turns out that the iptrace 2.0 header is simply an extension to
the iptrace 1.0 header. It also appears that iptrace 1.0 has only tv_sec, but
not tv_usec, which explains why the fields are separated in the iptrace 2.0
header, but doesn't explain why the iptrace 2.0 header has tv_sec copied
in two places.
I changed iptrace.c to detect FDDI captures via if_type, even though I
don't have a trace to substantiate this. If *should* work, given that
loopback, ethernet, token-ring, and X.25 work. If it doesn't work, someone
will let me know.

line of ISDN routers. Much like the ascend reader, this module reads an
ASCII hex dump of trace data.
Rearranged the order in which wiretap tries trace files, to keep the
ASCII-readers (ascend and toshiba) at the end, and put the binary-readers
(everything else) at the front of the list. If a telnet session of
and ascend trace or toshiba trace were captured near the beginning of
another trace, wiretap might think the trace was ascend or toshiba if it
tried that module first.
Fixed the way wtap_seek_read() selects functions to call. It was using
the encap type instead of the file type. We got lucky because

file (which could be WTAP_ENCAP_UNKNOWN, if we couldn't determine it, or
WTAP_ENCAP_PER_PACKET, if we could determine the encapsulation of
packets in the file, but they didn't all have the same encapsulation).
This may be useful in the future, if we allow files to be saved in
different capture file formats - we'd have to specify, when creating the
capture file, the per-file encapsulation, for those formats that don't
support per-packet encapsulations (we wouldn't be able to save a
multi-encapsulation capture in those formats).
Make the code to read "iptrace" files set the per-file packet
encapsulation - set it to the type of the first packet seen, and, if any
subsequent packets have a different encapsulation, set it to
WTAP_ENCAP_PER_PACKET.

the per-capture-file-type open routines treat errors accessing the file
as errors, and return -1, rather than just returning 0 so that we try
another file type.
Have the per-capture-file-type read routines "wtap_loop()" calls return
-1 and supply an error code on error (and not, as they did in some
cases, call "g_error()" and abort), and have "wtap_loop()", if the read
routine returned an error, return FALSE (and pass an error-code-pointer
argument onto the read routines, so they fill it in), and return TRUE on
success.
Add some new error codes for them to return.

When creating the temporary file for a capture, use "create_tempfile()",

it gives us - somebody could remove the file and plant a link to some
file, and, if as may well be the case when Ethereal is capturing
packets, it's running as "root", that means we write a capture on top of
that file.... (The aforementioned changes to Wiretap let you open a
capture file for writing given an file descriptor, "fdopen()"-style,
which this change requires.)

That requires that, in the packet-reading loop, we pass to the callback
routine the offset in the file of a packet's data, because we can no
longer compute that offset by subtracting the size of the captured
packet data from the offset in the file after the data was read -
"snoop" may stick padding in after the packet data to align packet
headers on 4-byte boundaries.
Doing that required that we arrange that we do that for "libpcap"
capture files as well; the cleanest way to do that was to write our own
code for reading "libpcap" capture files, rather than using the
"libpcap" code to do it.
