Register the pcap and pcapng file types/subtypes rather than hardwiring
them into the table.
Call the registration routines for them directly, rather than through a
generated table; they're always supposed to be there, as some code in
Wireshark either writes only one of those formats or defaults to writing
one of those formats. Don't run their source code through the
registration-routine-finder script.
Have the file type/subtype codes for them be directly exported to the
libwiretap core, and provide routines to return each of them, to be used
by the aforementioned code.
When reporting errors with cfile_write_failure_message(), use
wtap_dump_file_type_subtype() to get the file type/subtype value for the
wtap_dumper to which we're writing, rather than hardcoding it.
Have the "export PDU" code capable of supporting arbitrary file
types/subtypes, although we currently only use pcapng.
Get rid of declarations of now-static can_write_encap and
dump_open routines in various headers.
These will be backported, for the benefit of Lua scripts that want those
specific file types/subtypes (typically in order to write files of those
types); that allows those types to be fetched without having to know the
right string to hand to wslua_wtap_name_to_file_type_subtype().
Provide a wiretap routine to get an array of all savable file
type/subtypes, sorted with pcap and pcapng at the top, followed by the
other types, sorted either by the name or the description.
Use that routine to list options for the -F flag for various commands
Rename wtap_get_savable_file_types_subtypes() to
wtap_get_savable_file_types_subtypes_for_file(), to indicate that it
provides an array of all file type/subtypes in which a given file can be
saved. Have it sort all types, other than the default type/subtype and,
if there is one, the "other" type (both of which are put at the top), by
the name or the description.
Don't allow wtap_register_file_type_subtypes() to override any existing
registrations; have them always register a new type. In that routine,
if there are any emply slots in the table, due to an entry being
unregistered, use it rather than allocating a new slot.
Don't allow unregistration of built-in types.
Rename the "dump open table" to the "file type/subtype table", as it has
entries for all types/subtypes, even if we can't write them.
Initialize that table in a routine that pre-allocates the GArray before
filling it with built-in types/subtypes, so it doesn't keep getting
reallocated.
Get rid of wtap_num_file_types_subtypes - it's just a copy of the size
of the GArray.
Don't have wtap_file_type_subtype_description() crash if handed an
file type/subtype that isn't a valid array index - just return NULL, as
we do with wtap_file_type_subtype_name().
In wtap_name_to_file_type_subtype(), don't use WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_
names for the backwards-compatibility names - map those names to the
current names, and then look them up. This reduces the number of
uses of hardwired WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_ values.
Clean up the type of wtap_module_count - it has no need to be a gulong.
Have built-in wiretap file handlers register names to be used for their
file type/subtypes, rather than building the table in init.lua.
Add a new Lua C function get_wtap_filetypes() to construct the
wtap_filetypes table, based on the registered names, and use it in
init.lua.
Add a #define WSLUA_INTERNAL_FUNCTION to register functions intended
only for internal use in init.lua, so they can be made available from
Lua without being documented.
Get rid of WTAP_NUM_FILE_TYPES_SUBTYPES - most code has no need to use
it, as it can just request arrays of types, and the space of
type/subtype codes can be sparse due to registration in any case, so
code has to be careful using it.
wtap_get_num_file_types_subtypes() is no longer used, so remove it. It
returns the number of elements in the file type/subtype array, which is
not necessarily the name of known file type/subtypes, as there may have
been some deregistered types, and those types do *not* get removed from
the array, they just get cleared so that they're available for future
allocation (we don't want the indices of any registered types to changes
if another type is deregistered, as those indicates are the type/subtype
values, so we can't shrink the array).
Clean up white space and remove some comments that shouldn't have been
added.
Remove most of the built-in file types from the table in
wiretap/file_access.c and, instead, have the file types register
themselves, using wtap_register_file_type_subtypes().
This reduces the source code changes needed to add a new file type from
three (add the handler, add the file type to the table in file_access.c,
add a #define for the file type in wiretap/wtap.h) to one (add the
handler). (It also requires adding the handler's source file to
wiretap/CMakeLists.txt, but that's required in both cases.)
A few remain because the WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_ #define is used
elsewhere; that needs to be fixed.
Fix the wiretap/CMakefile.txt file to scan k12text.l, as that now
contains a registration routine. In the process, avoid scanning files
that don't implement a file type and won't ever have a registration
routine.
Add a Lua routine to fetch the total number of file types; we use that
in some code to construct the wtap_filetypes table, which we need to do
in order to continue to have all the values that used to come from the
WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_ types.
While we're at it, add modelines to a file that lacked them.
Recommend the use of wtap_name_to_file_type_subtype() to get filetype
values, unless you need to run on older versions of Wireshark that don't
have it.
Don't even *mention* wtap_filetypes in the documentation for the new
wtap_ routines, as, if you have those routines, you have
wtap_name_to_file_type_subtype(), because it's one of those routines.
Fix references to "nul" while we're at it - it's "nil" in Lua.
(That part of the WSDG - the Lua reference - is generated, so this
involves changing the source code implementing the Lua routines.)
The "short name" is really just the name, used to look it up. The
"name" is really a description intended solely for human consumption.
Rename the fields, and the functions that access them, to match.
The "description" maintained by Lua for file type handlers is used
*only* for one debugging message; we should probably just eliminate it.
Call it an "internal description" for now.
Provide Lua version of wtap_file_type_subtype_string(),
wtap_file_type_subtype_short_string(), and
wtap_short_string_to_file_type_subtype().
This will be backported to the 3.2 and 3.4 branches, to allow scripts
not run on the bleeding-edge version to use them.
