Currently, pcapio is only used by dumpcap, which is only compiled
if there is pcap support. However, making pcapio independent from
libpcap allows it also to be used from text2pcap, which does not
rely on libpcap.

name". If it doesn't have a description, on OS X, use the System
Configuration framework to attempt to get a "friendly name" for
interfaces.
If a loopback device doesn't have a friendly name, give it "Loopback" as
the friendly name.
Move the "turn a CFString into a mallocated C string" routine into

should be used (on success, have it return 0). Exit with that exit
status; if the problem is that we couldn't get the interface list or if
there are no interfaces in that list, return 2, as that's not a
command-line syntax error.

Friendly Names for interfaces on Windows
Notes on the changes the patch covers:
* if_info_t struct: addition of friendly_name
* Dumpcap Interface list format changes:
+ Win32: "dumpcap -D" shows friendly_name in place of descript if known
+ All: machine interface "dumpcap -D -Z none" includes friendly_name in the
list in addition to the existing parameters
* interface_options struct: addition of console_display_name
+ When an interface name is displayed in a console, it will typically be the
console_display_name (instead of name).
+ console_display_name is used as the basis of the autogenerated temp
filenames
+ console_display_name is typically set to the friendly_name if known,
otherwise it is set to the interface name
* Enhancements to capture_opts_add_iface_opt() (the function which process -i
options).
+ Can now specify the interface using its name and friendly_name
+ Interface name matching is case insenstive
+ Name matching first attempts exact matching, then falls back to prefix
matching
(e.g. dumpcap -i local)
+ Validates interface names, instead of blindly sending them off to
winpcap/libpcap
+ Interface specification by number is still supported.
* capture_opts_trim_iface() has been refactored:
+ Instead of repeating a decent chunk of the cost in
capture_opts_add_iface_opt(), it calls capture_opts_trim_iface() to specify the
interface.
* introduction of capture_win_ifnames.[ch] (windows only code)
+ Implements static function GetInterfaceFriendlyNameFromDeviceGuid() - a
windows version independant function to convert an interface guid into its
friendly name. Uses published api functions on windows vista and higher, but
falls back to unpublished API functions on older windows releases.
+ void get_windows_interface_friendlyname(/* IN */ char
*interface_devicename, /* OUT */char **interface_friendlyname); - extracts the
GUID from the interface_devicename, then uses
GetInterfaceFriendlyNameFromDeviceGuid() to do the resolution
* Auto temp filename generation:
+ Now uses wireshark_pcapng_* or wireshark_pcap_* depending on file format
+ Basis temp filename format on console_display_name
+ Win32: if console_display_name is a windows interface guid, extracts
numbers from GUID here (instead of in interface option processing)
GUI CHANGES:
* Dialog that displays when you click the "Manage Interfaces" button (within
Capture Options dialog) has been renamed from "Add new interfaces" to
"Interface Management"
* ui/gtk/capture_dlg.c: new_interfaces_w variable renamed to
interface_management_w
* Win32: Local Interfaces tab on Interface Management dialog, shows includes
friendly name as far left column
* Interface Management dialog defaults to larger size on win32 - so it fits
without resizing local interfaces tab
* Interface Management dialog now saves preferences when you click the apply
button (local hidden interfaces was not persisting across restarts)
* Tweaks: "Interface Details" dialog (Interface list->Capture Interfaces ->
Details):
+ "Friendly Name" renamed to "NDIS Friendly Name"
+ Added "OS Friendly Name" to the top of the list
* Win32: The "Capture Interfaces" dialog now shows the friendly name instead of
device guid
* Welcome screen:
+ The height of the interface list scrollbox dynamically adjusts & updates to
the number visible interfaces.
Up to 10 interfaces can be listed without a scroll bar, the minimum height
is for 2 interfaces.
+ Win32: now shows just the Friendly Name if known - in place of
"Interfacename_Guid:(Description)"

This may clear up the problem most recently reported in bug 7021 after
the crash was fixed, where the capture starts successfully but an error
dialog pops up.

In get_capture_device_open_failure_messages() in dumpcap.c, there are some
statements that should have been guarded by ifdefs, causing a little
unnecessary work on some platforms, and a bunch of unused-variable warnings
from static analyzers. The patch fixes the problem.

we're capturing. (We do not require a -i flag; the message could be
useful if you don't specify the interface, as it lets you know which
interface was chosen, which might not be the interface you'd think it
would be. Yes, that's arguably a libpcap bug, which I plan to look at;
it should probably try to figure out which interfaces are "active" if
possible, and prefer those.)
Use cmdarg_err() for invalid capture filters and other capture errors.

Fixes a problem on Windows wherein specifying a capture file
time duration for autostop or file-switching would stop
working after some period of time.
The reason:
GetTickCount returns DWORD (unsigned int) which
wraps "every 49.7 days";
and: The GetTickCount() return value was being stored in a time_t which is
int64 on Windows;
thus:
The test for elapsed time (using signed integers) didn't work correctly after
the time had wrapped.

getopt() can/should normally be found in unistd.h, so:
- When testing for getopt(), define that we HAVE_GETOPT instead of
HAVE_GETOPT_H (to avoid confusion).
- Don't attempt to include getopt.h: not all OS's have it (for example,
Solaris 9 does not).
- (All the places which need getopt already include unistd.h (if we have it).)
If this breaks things on some OS, we might need (a real) HAVE_GETOPT_H check.
