Guy Harris ed86f51e49 wiretap: rename wtap_register_file_type_subtypes().
It only registers one file type/subtype, so rename it to
wtap_register_file_type_subtype().

That will also force plugins to be recompiled; that will produce compile
errors for some plugins that didn't change to match the new contents of
the file_type_subtype_info structure.

Also check to make sure that the registered file type/subtype supports
at least one type of block; a file type/subtype that doesn't return
*any* blocks and doesn't permit *any* block types to be written is not
very useful.  That should also catch most if not all other plugins that
didn't change to match the new contents of the file_type_subtype_info
structure.

Don't make errors registering a file type/subtype fatal; just complain,
don't register the bogus file type/subtype, and drive on.

Guy Harris 842a7cccf9 wiretap: have file handlers advertise blocks and options supported.
Instead of a "supports name resolution" Boolean and bitflags for types of
comments supported, provide a list of block types that the file
type/subtype supports, with each block type having a list of options
supported.  Indicate whether "supported" means "one instance" or
"multiple instances".

"Supports" doesn't just mean "can be written", it also means "could be
read".

Rename WTAP_BLOCK_IF_DESCRIPTION to WTAP_BLOCK_IF_ID_AND_INFO, to
indicate that it provides, in addition to information about the
interface, an ID (implicitly, in pcapng files, by its ordinal number)
that is associated with every packet in the file.  Emphasize that in
comments - just because your capture file format can list the interfaces
on which a capture was done, that doesn't mean it supports this; it
doesn't do so if the file doesn't indicate, for every packet, on which
of those interfaces it was captured (I'm looking at *you*, Microsoft
Network Monitor...).

Use APIs to query that information to do what the "does this file
type/subtype support name resolution information", "does this file
type/subtype support all of these comment types", and "does this file
type/subtype support - and require - interface IDs" APIs did.

Provide backwards compatibility for Lua.

This allows us to eliminate the WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_ values for IBM's
iptrace; do so.

Guy Harris 09684644ee wiretap: clean up WTAP_BLOCK_ names.
Remove NG from the names - it adds nothing.

Don't use the abbreviations for pcapng block names, spell out what the
block does (e.g. "WTAP_BLOCK_DECRYPTION_SECRETS" rather than
"WTAP_BLOCK_DSB"), to make it more obvious what the block does.

Spell out some other abbreviations.

Add WTAP_BLOCK_PACKET for future use for packet blocks; there's no need
to distinguish between the Enhanced Packet Block, the Simple Packet
Block, and the deprecated Packet Block here.

Guy Harris c099892700 iptrace: generate IDBs.
The packet information for a packet includes an interface name prefix
and an interface unit number (e.g., "en0", with a prefix of "en" and a
unit number of 0).  Keep a hash table of prefixes, unit numbers, and
link-layer header types (as an interface must have only one link-layer
header type), and, for each packet, look up that information from the
packet information to get the interface ID; if that fails, construct a
new entry, with a new interface ID, and an IDB for the interface.

Guy Harris a4ebc98fa4 iptrace: various cleanups.
Call the "iptrace X.Y" string we read in the version string, rather than
the name.

Get rid of the structures defining various parts of the file format.
Instead, have #defines for offsets.

Read the record header - the first 8 octets - first.  Check the record
length, to make sure it's large enough to include the packet information
structure, before we try to read that structure.

Note that one octet in the packet information structure is the unit
number for the interface on which the packet arrived, the field that was
called the name is the prefix of the name (in the sense that, for
example, in "en0", "en" is the prefix and "0" is the unit number), and
that what was called the "description" isn't as simple as a description
of the interface on which the packet arrived.

Pass the field that was called the "description" to
fill_in_pseudo_header(), as, for ATM PDUs, it contains, among other
things, an indication of the VPI and VCI for the PDU, as well as a
direction indication.

Guy Harris d0865fd619 Allow bigger snapshot lengths for D-Bus captures.
Use WTAP_MAX_PACKET_SIZE_STANDARD, set to 256KB, for everything except
for D-Bus captures.  Use WTAP_MAX_PACKET_SIZE_DBUS, set to 128MB, for
them, because that's the largest possible D-Bus message size.  See

	https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100220

for an example of the problems caused by limiting the snapshot length to
256KB for D-Bus.

Have a snapshot length of 0 in a capture_file structure mean "there is
no snapshot length for the file"; we don't need the has_snap field in
that case, a value of 0 mean "no, we don't have a snapshot length".

In dumpcap, start out with a pipe buffer size of 2KB, and grow it as
necessary.  When checking for a too-big packet from a pipe, check
against the appropriate maximum - 128MB for DLT_DBUS, 256KB for
everything else.

Guy Harris 48a66835ee Use wtap_read_bytes() to skip over bytes when reading a record.
Allow file_read() to take a null pointer as a buffer argument; a null
argument means "do everything except copy the bytes from the file to the
user buffer".  That means that wtap_read_bytes() and
wtap_read_bytes_or_eof() also support a null pointer as a buffer
argument.

Use wtap_read_bytes() with a null buffer argument rather than
file_skip() to skip forward over data.

This fixes some places where files were mis-identified as ERF files, as
the ERF open heuristics now get a short "read" error if they try to skip
over more bytes than exist in the file.

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.

Guy Harris 33bb54a945 file_seek() used to be a wrapper around fseek() or gzseek(), both of
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.

Guy Harris b6ff142f60 Add a presence flag field to the packet information structure filled in
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.

Guy Harris d94bd07f99 Rename WTAP_ERR_BAD_RECORD to WTAP_ERR_BAD_FILE; it really reports any
form of corruption/bogosity in a file, including in a file header as
well as in records in the file.  Change the error message
wtap_strerror() returns for it to reflect that.

Use it for some file header problems for which it wasn't already being
used - WTAP_ERR_UNSUPPORTED shouldn't be used for that, it should only
be used for files that we have no reason to believe are invalid but that
have a version number we don't know about or some other
non-link-layer-encapsulation-type value we don't know about.

Guy Harris e9fc1b72aa Use guint8 rather than guchar for raw octets and pointers to arrays of
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.

Guy Harris 6cbf6ce16c Add a new WTAP_ERR_DECOMPRESS error, and use that for errors discovered
by the gunzipping code.  Have it also supply a err_info string, and
report it.  Have file_error() supply an err_info string.

Put "the file" - or, for WTAP_ERR_DECOMPRESS, "the compressed file", to
suggest a decompression error - into the rawshark and tshark errors,
along the lines of what other programs print.

Fix a case in the Netscaler code where we weren't fetching the error
code on a read failure.

Guy Harris 4c93827e34 From Jakub Zawadzki:
file_read(buf, bsize, count, file) macro is compilant with fread
function and takes elements count+ size of each element, however to make
it compilant with gzread() it always returns number of bytes.

In wiretap file_read() this is not really used, file_read is called
either with bsize set to 1 or count to 1.

Attached patch remove bsize argument from macro.
