not, so it's OK to use "zlib" to read capture files, as it handles
uncompressed files correctly.
When *writing* capture files, however, we can't detect automatically
whether the user wanted to write the file out as a compressed file or
not, so we should *NOT* use "zlib" until we add a flag to the API
specifying whether to write the file out as a compressed file or not.
Furthermore, the code in Ethereal that implements the "-S" flag depends
on being able to get the "FILE *" for a capture file being written, so
that it can "fflush()" it.

gzip. The zLib library is used for this purpose. If zLib is not available
(or it's use is disabled by the --disable-zlib option to configure), you
can still compile Ethereal but it will be unable to read compressed capture
files.
IMPORTANT:
Now all file accesses to capture files should be done through special macros.
Specifically, for any use of the following functions on capture files, replace them.
The arguments for the right-side functions are exactly the same as for the
original stdio functions.
fopen file_open
fdopen filed_open
fread file_read
fwrite file_write
fseek file_seek
fclose file_close
ferror file_error

"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()".

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.

the per-capture-file-type open routines treat errors accessing the file

Have the per-capture-file-type read routines "wtap_loop()" calls return

If the attempt to open a capture file succeeds, but the attempt to read

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.)
