Have "get_host_ipaddr()" return a Boolean indicating whether it
succeeded or failed, and, if it succeeded, have it fill in the IP address if found through a pointer passed as the second argument. Have it first try interpreting its first argument as a dotted-quad IP address, with "inet_aton()", and, if that fails, have it try to interpret it as a host name with "gethostbyname()"; don't bother with "gethostbyaddr()", as we should be allowed to filter on IP addresses even if there's no host name associated with them (there's no guarantee that "gethostbyaddr()" will succeed if handed an IP address with no corresponding name - and it looks as if FreeBSD 3.2, at least, may not succeed in that case). Add a "dfilter_fail()" routine that takes "printf()"-like arguments and uses them to set an error message for the parse; doing so means that even if the filter expression is syntactically valid, we treat it as being invalid. (Is there a better way to force a parse to fail from arbitrary places in routines called by the parser?) Use that routine in the lexical analyzer. If that error message was set, use it as is as the failure message, rather than adding "Unable to parse filter string XXX" to it. Have the code to handle IP addresses and host names in display filters check whether "get_host_ipaddr()" succeeded or failed and, if it failed, arrange that the parse fail with an error message indicating the source of the problem. svn path=/trunk/; revision=802
