is supported before trying to open for writing - the attempt to open for
writing will do the check for you. Instead, check for specific errors
if the attempt to open for writing fails, and use somewhat more specific
error messages for certain error codes. (We should perhaps check for
even more error codes in those cases.)
That gets rid of all external calls to wtap_dump_can_write_encap(), so
remove it from wtap.h and make it static.

supports writing files with a given set of encapsulations and comment
types. Use it, rather than asking for a list of file formats that
support the given set of encapsulation and comment types and checking
whether we got back such a list, or duplicating its logic.
Having file.c use it means that nobody's using
wtap_dump_can_write_encaps() any more; get rid of it. Instead, have a
private routine that checks whether a given file format supports a given
set of encapsulations *and* comment types, and use that internally.

For each capture file type, have a bitset of comment types supported by
that capture file type.
Add a Wiretap routine that, for a given file type, returns the bitset of
comment types it supports.
Have wtap_get_savable_file_types() take a bitset of comment types that
need to be supported by the file types it returns.
Replace cf_has_comments() with a routine that returns a bitset of
capture file comment types in the capture file.
Use those routines in the capture file dialogs; don't wire in the notion
that pcap-NG supports all comment types and no other file formats
support any comment types. (That's currently true, but we don't want to
wire that in as being forever true.)

implemented the previously declared but unimplemented wtap_dump_file_seek() and wtap_dump_file_tell() functions and used them in the seven files that had previously used a plain ftell or fseek and added error checking as appropriate. I also added a new error WTAP_ERR_CANT_SEEK_COMPRESSED and put it next to WTAP_ERR_CANT_SEEK causing renumbering of two of the existing error codes.

resolution information between capture files so that we don't leak host
entries from one file to another (e.g. embarassing-host-name.example.com
from file1.pcapng into a name resolution block in file2.pcapng).
host_name_lookup_cleanup and host_name_lookup_init must now be called
after each call to se_free_all. As a result we now end up reading our
various name resolution files much more than we should.

Should we do this for other file formats as well?
A pcapng file with per packet encapsulation will need an IDB per encapsulation as the EPB does not have a linktype indicator only a interface index.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=44281
the per-file encapsulation type needed to write out a set of packets
with all those encapsulation types. If there's only one such
encapsulation type, that's the type, otherwise WTAP_ENCAP_PER_PACKET is
needed. Use that in wtap_dump_can_write_encaps().
Also use it in cf_save_packets() and cf_export_specified_packets(), so
that we can write out files with WTAP_ENCAP_PER_PACKET as the file
encapsulation type and only one actual per-packet encapsulation type in
some cases where that failed before. This fixes the case that showed up
in bug 7505, although there are other cases where we *could* write out a
capture in a given file format but won't be able to do so; fixing those
will take more work.
#BACKPORT
(Note: this adds a routine to libwiretap, so, when backported, the
*minor* version of the library should be increased. Code that worked
with the version of the library prior to this change will continue to
work, so there's no need to change the *major* version of the library.)

we're making a fake interface description (it should match the time

units per second value, as it needs to correctly compute the time stamp

only return file types that could handle a single file with all those
encapsulations - this means that
1) if there's more then one encapsulation, the file format has
to handle per-packet encapsulation;
2) just because a file format handles per-packet encapsulation,
that doesn't mean that it can handle the *particular* encapsulations
being handed to it.
This fixes some cases where we were claiming that a file could be saved
in a format that doesn't actually support it (e.g., ISDN files being
reported as savable in pcap-NG format - there's no LINKTYPE_ value for
ISDN including B and D channels).

doesn't do safe saves, so wtap_fdreopen() always needs to reopen the
random file descriptor.
At the point where a safe save is done, the sequential read is done, so
the sequential stream is closed; there's no need to reopen it.
(The former fourth argument to wtap_fdreopen() wasn't an indication of
whether the file was compressed, it was an indicationof whether the
random stream should be reopened.)

file that we ourselves have open. In the "safe save" code path for
capture files, on Windows temporarily close the file descriptors for the
currently-open capture before doing the rename and then, if the rename
failed, reopen them, leaving the rest of the wtap and capture_file
structures intact.
Rename filed_open() to file_fdopen(), to make its name match what it
does a bit better (it's an fdopen()-style routine, i.e. do the
equivalent of an open with an already-open file descriptor rather than a
pathname, in the file_wrappers.c set of routines).
Remove the file_ routines from the .def file for Wiretap - they should
only be called by code inside Wiretap.
Closing a descriptor open for input has no reason to fail (closing a
descriptor open for *writing* could fail if the file is on a server and
dirty pages are pushed asynchronously to the server and synchronously on
a close), so just have file_close() return void.

the file type we're using has a list of extensions;
the file has no extension or it has one but it's not one of the
ones in the list.
*Don't* expect a file extension to be at most 5 characters plus the dot

and that's 6 characters!

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.

2. Dissectors that display the VeriWave tap headers (both 802.11 and

3. A dissector for the WaveAgent protocol. The WaveAgent dissector is

The WaveAgent dissector has been Fuzz tested.
The VWR ENCAP and dissectors have been used extensively by VeriWave
