"FDDI with the MAC addresses bit-swapped"; whether the MAC addresses are
bit-swapped is a property of the machine on which the capture was taken,
not of the machine on which the capture is being read - right now, none
of the capture file formats we read indicate whether FDDI MAC addresses
are bit-swapped, but this does let us treat non-"libpcap" captures as
being bit-swapped or not bit-swapped independent of the machine on which
they're being read (and of the machine on which they were captured, but
I have the impression they're bit-swapped on most platforms), and allows
us to, if, as, and when we implement packet capture in Wiretap, mark
packets in a capture file written in Wiretap-native format based on the
machine on which they are captured (assuming the rule "Ultrix, Alpha,
and BSD/OS are the only platforms that don't bit-swap", or some other
compile-time rule, gets the right answer, or that some platform has
drivers that can tell us whether the addresses are bit-swapped).
(NOTE: if, for any of the capture file formats used only on one
platform, FDDI MAC addresses aren't bit-swapped, the code to read that
capture file format should be fixed to flag them as not bit-swapped.)
Use the encapsulation type to decide whether to bit-swap addresses in
"dissect_fddi()".

Get rid of WTAP_ENCAP_NONE; replace it with WTAP_ENCAP_UNKNOWN, which
means "I can't handle that file, it's using an encapsulation I don't
support".
Check for encapsulations we don't support, and return an error (as is
already done in "libpcap.c").
Check for too-large packet sizes, and return an error (as is already
done in "libpcap.c").
Print unsigned quantities in Wiretap messages with "%u", not "%d".

and in different capture files; throw in some heuristics to try to
figure out whether the 4-byte header is:
1) PPP-over-HDLC (some version of ISDN4BSD?);
2) big-endian AF_ value (BSD on big-endian platforms);
3) little-endian AF_ value (BSD on little-endian platforms);
4) two octets of 0 followed by an Ethernet type (Linux, at least
on little-endian platforms, as mutated by "libpcap").
Make a separate Wiretap encapsulation type, WTAP_ENCAP_NULL,
corresponding to DLT_NULL.
Have the PPP code dissect the frame if it's PPP-over-HDLC, and have
"ethertype()" dissect the Ethernet type and the rest of the packet if
it's a Linux-style header; dissect it ourselves only if it's an AF_
value.
Have Wiretap impose a maximum packet size of 65535 bytes, so that it
fails more gracefully when handed a corrupt "libpcap" capture file
(other capture file formats with more than a 16-bit capture length
field, if any, will have that check added later), and put that size in
"wtap.h" and have Ethereal use it as its notion of a maximum packet
size.
Have Ethereal put up a "this file appears to be damaged or corrupt"
message box if Wiretap returns a WTAP_ERR_BAD_RECORD error when opening
or reading a capture file.
Include loopback interfaces in the list of interfaces offered by the
"Capture" dialog box, but put them at the end of the list so that it
doesn't default to a loopback interface unless there are no other
interfaces. Also, don't require that an interface in the list have an
IP address associated with it, and only put one entry in the list for a
given interface (SIOCGIFCONF returns one entry per interface *address*,
not per *interface* - and even if you were to use only IP addresses, an
interface could conceivably have more than one IP address).
Exclusively use Wiretap encapsulation types internally, even when
capturing; don't use DLT_ types.

return 1 on success, -1 if they got an error, and 0 if the file isn't of
the type that file is checking for, and supply an error code if they
return -1; have "wtap_open_offline()" use that error code. Also, have
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.
Now that "wtap_loop()" can return a success/failure indication and an
error code, in "read_cap_file()" put up a message box if we get an error
reading the file, and return the error code.
Handle the additional errors we can get when opening a capture file.
If the attempt to open a capture file succeeds, but the attempt to read
it fails, don't treat that as a complete failure - we may have managed
to read some of the capture file, and we should display what we managed
to read.

encapsulation type (if it happens, we need to add a new Wiretap
encapsulation type to handle the new "libpcap" encapsulation type).

bother checking if we're giving up on a capture).
Add some more error checks in Wiretap.

write them in "libpcap" format, but the mechanism can have other formats
added.
When creating the temporary file for a capture, use "create_tempfile()",
to close a security hole opened by the fact that "tempnam()" creates a
temporary file, but doesn't open it, and we open the file with the name
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.)

want to read the next file with the same filter that you used on the
last file.
In the "File/Open" dialog box, parse the read filter before trying to
open the file, and if the parse fails, leave the dialog box up so the
user still has the filter and file name around and can try to fix the
problem.
Keep the compiled read filter attached to the "capture_file" structure,
so you don't have to reparse it on a "File/Reload".

it's called after "open_cap_file()" has been called, and is always
passed the file name passed to "open_cap_file()", and that file name is
stored as "cf->filename", so "read_cap_file()" can just use
"cf->filename" as the pathname of the file.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=494
The former, which used to be called by "load_cap_file()", now just opens
the file and, if the open succeeds, closes any capture file we
previously had open, reinitializes any protocols that need
reinitialization, and saves information about the new capture file in
the "capture_file" structure to which it was passed a pointer. The
latter reads the file already opened by "read_cap_file()".
For "File/Open", call "open_cap_file()" before dismissing the file
selection box; if it fails, "open_cap_file()" will have popped up a
message box complaining about it - just return, leaving the file
selection box open so the user can, after dismissing the message box,
either try again with a different file name, or dismiss the file
selection box. (Other file selection boxes should be made to work the
same way.) If "open_cap_file()" succeeds, dismiss the file selection
box, and read the capture file in.

- when in a live capture mode no packet is received
during a timeout, the displayer process is notified
about any remaining captured packets. Note that this

the "Open File" dialog box (the "Open File" dialog box equivalent of the
"-R" flag). Have "load_cap_file()" take the filter expression as an
argument, and make the global "rfilter" into a member of a
"capture_file" structure.
When reading a temporary capture file after a live capture, don't apply
any filter.
Move the code that pops up error boxes on file opens when reading a
capture file back to "load_cap_file()"; it also pops up error boxes if
the filter expression can't be parsed.
Don't enable "File/Save" or "File/Save As..." if an attempt to read a
capture file fails - if there was already an open capture file, it was
closed by "load_cap_file()", so we no longer have an open file to save.

you have a capture.
Leave the job of enabling and disabling menu items that make sense only
if you have a capture (except for "File/Save" and "File/Save As...", for
now) up to "load_cap_file()", "close_cap_file()", and the like - don't
scatter that stuff throughout the code.
Disable "File/Print Packet" if no packet is selected; enable it only if
a packet is selected.
If there's a selected packet, and a display filter is run:
if the selected packet passed the filter, re-select it;
if the selected packet didn't pass the filter, un-select it.
If we've opened a live "pcap" capture, but can't do the capture because
we can't get the netmask info, or can't parse the capture filter string,
or can't install the filter, close the live capture and the dump and
delete the dump file.
If we failed to open a live "pcap" capture, don't try to read the
capture file - it doesn't exist.

print either all the packets or only the packets selected by the display
filter, and possibly also the ability to print only packets M through N.

There's no need to pass a pointer to a "dialog_button" variable to

button.

(this assumes that "libpcap" writes out the header as soon as that
happens, which is the case for "libpcap" 0.4), we sync it out (to make

capture is in progress.

why I had to swap fields (data = w) in some of the callback functions when
I added support for gtk+-1.1. Because of the use of gtk_signal_connect_object,
the wrong value was being sent to the callback function. We were just lucky
that with gtk+-1.0 it worked.
gtk_signal_connect_object is for use with callbacks that take one argument.
gtk_signal_connect is for use with callbacks that take two arguments.

influence came from
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/mac/HIGuidelines/HIGuidelines-232.html
which has a section on dialog box and alert box messages. However,
we're largely dealing with technoids, not with The Rest Of Us, so I
didn't go as far as one perhaps should.)
Unfortunately, it looks like it's a bit more work to arrange that, if
you give a bad file name to the "-r" flag, the dialog box pop up only
*after* the main window pops up - it has the annoying habit of popping
up *before* the main window pops up, and sometimes getting *obscured* by
it, when I do that. The removal of the dialog box stuff from
"load_cap_file()" was intended to facilitate that work. (It might also
be nice if, when an open from the "File/Open" menu item fails, we keep
the file selection box open, and give the user a chance to correct
typos, choose another file name, etc.)

Tests for GTK versions are done during compilation, not during "./configure".
The big problems have been taken care of in this patch (functional change

a small problem with file_open*(), but have left 2 comments in just in case
I'm not going about this the right way. Can someone verify?
