2004-07-18Set the svn:eol-style property on all text files to "native", so thatGuy Harris1-1/+1
they have LF at the end of the line on UN*X and CR/LF on Windows; hopefully this means that if a CR/LF version is checked in on Windows, the CRs will be stripped so that they show up only when checked out on Windows, not on UN*X. svn path=/trunk/; revision=11400

2004-01-07Update the list of OSes and OS versions on which Ethereal is known toGuy Harris1-6/+11
work (or inferred to work - some lists were changed to "XXX and later", on the assumption that later releases didn't break anything). svn path=/trunk/; revision=9592

2003-12-18WildPackets' EtherHelp appears to write EtherPeek-compatible files,Guy Harris1-2/+2
except that the 0x80 bit is turned on in the file version number field. Turn that bit off before processing that field. svn path=/trunk/; revision=9342

2003-07-29From Thierry Martin: support for reading files from Accellent 5Views LANGuy Harris1-1/+2
agents. svn path=/trunk/; revision=8093
2002-07-31From Motonori Shindo: support for reading CoSine L2 debug output.Guy Harris1-4/+11

2002-05-29Update the item on turning off name resolution to mention the "-N" flagGuy Harris1-8/+18
and the preference item. svn path=/trunk/; revision=5591
2002-05-20Update the README to refer to "--without-ucdsnmp" rather thanGuy Harris1-10/+12
"--disable-snmp", and to note that UCD SNMP 4.2.4 *or later* fix the potential buffer overflow problems. svn path=/trunk/; revision=5514
2002-05-15Add Greg Morris as author of NCP dissector.Gilbert Ramirez1-10/+1
Remove paragraph begging for help on NCP dissector from README. svn path=/trunk/; revision=5482
2002-03-11Update various README and INSTALL files to reflect the requirement forGuy Harris1-7/+14
UCD SNMP 4.2.2 or later if you want MIB-reading support. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4926
2002-01-29Untested support for AiroPeek captures.Guy Harris1-2/+2
svn path=/trunk/; revision=4619
2002-01-22Fix up various product names and descriptions in the lists of fileGuy Harris1-9/+9
formats we can read; include vendor names. We should be able to read TokenPeek captures, as well as captures from the Windows versions of EtherPeek. Don't list the version numbers for EtherPeek and TokenPeek - those are file format version numbers, not program version numbers. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4599
2001-12-05The Visual Networks tool that generates capture files that we now canGuy Harris1-2/+2
read is Visual UpTime. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4339
2001-12-05Note that Ethereal's and Tethereal's native capture file format isGuy Harris1-3/+3
libpcap format, and say that it's also used by "other tools" (tcpdump and Ethereal/Tethereal aren't the only tools that write captures in that format). Weaken the claim that we read Etherpeek files to say only that we read Etherpeek versions 5, 6, and 7 for Macintosh, so people don't conclude that we read Etherpeek-for-Windows captures (we don't). svn path=/trunk/; revision=4337
2001-12-04Update the README file to reflect the current list of capture fileGuy Harris1-5/+8
formats we can read (and to put them in the order in which they're mentioned in the man pages, to make it easier to make sure the lists are the same). svn path=/trunk/; revision=4330

2000-09-21Make sure to pass the sent/received direction from pppdump.c inGilbert Ramirez1-1/+2
pseudo_header. Use generic "p2p_phdr" instead of "lapd_phdr". Modify toshiba.c and packet-lapd.c to take that into account. Add frame.p2p_dir, a filterable field, 0=sent, 1=recvd Make p2p_dir available in packe_info, as I think it will be needed in VJ COMP and UNCOMP dissection. Rename WTAP_ENCAP_TR to WTAP_ENCAP_TOKEN_RING. Mention pppd-log support in man page. Mention atmsnoop in README. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2455
2000-09-20Mention support for reading pppd log files.Gilbert Ramirez1-1/+2
svn path=/trunk/; revision=2452
2000-08-24Include bus errors and aborts, as well as segmentation violations, asGuy Harris1-6/+12
examples of errors that generate core dumps, and suggest that a stack trace from the debugger could be useful for *all* failures that produce core dumps. Note that the core dump file may be named "ethereal.core", and note that "tethereal" rather than "ethereal" should be used in file names if it's Tethereal that blew up. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2368
2000-08-22More mention of csids support in wiretap.Gilbert Ramirez1-7/+18
svn path=/trunk/; revision=2335
2000-08-15Remove the IPv6 restriction for the Follow TCP stream feature.Laurent Deniel1-4/+1
svn path=/trunk/; revision=2274
2000-07-28Add the re-write of the NetWare Core Protocol dissector. It's mostlyGilbert Ramirez1-2/+16
a framework for the dissector; of the more than 400 NCP packet types, only a handful are defined. But this dissector framework is much better than the previous one. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2173
2000-06-08Document the fact that we can now read compressed Sniffer files.Gilbert Ramirez1-6/+6
svn path=/trunk/; revision=2047
2000-04-13Add last minute changes.Gilbert Ramirez1-2/+2
Fix statement about Win32 version not capturing in README. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1846
2000-02-19Give it an RCS ID.Guy Harris1-0/+2
svn path=/trunk/; revision=1656
2000-01-26Move version to 0.8.2, add Win32 to list of platforms in README.Gilbert Ramirez1-2/+3
svn path=/trunk/; revision=1562
2000-01-14Note that the Ethereal distribution also comes with Tethereal andGuy Harris1-18/+26
editcap. Expand the list of OSes on which Ethereal has (at least at one time) been built and used. Note that systems other than Solaris that use DLPI (e.g., HP-UX) may also have "/dev" entries that can be made more widely readable and writable to allow non-root users to capture packets. Note that we can read "i4btrace" capture files. Note that we now always do SNMP dissection, and that an external library just allows us to do more sophisticated dissection. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1470
2000-01-10Remove the reference to my old samples directory on the web server;Gilbert Ramirez1-4/+0
the new ethereal web site contains a link to its own samples directory. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1450
1999-11-29Of the "zlib" functions we use that aren't in all versions of "zlib",Guy Harris1-5/+6
"gzgets()" is the one most recently added; it was added in 1.0.9. Check for it, rather than for a list of functions, when checking for "zlib" support - if you check for N functions, and they're all there, you get N "-lz"s added to the list of libraries with which to link. Indicate in the README that "zlib" versions prior to 1.0.9 definitely won't work. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1144
1999-11-29Fix a typo, and just say that "ethereal -v" indicates the versions ofGuy Harris1-4/+3
the libraries with which Ethereal was built, rather than enumerating all the libraries for which it gives the version. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1143
1999-11-29Add info about zlib version support.Gilbert Ramirez1-0/+8

svn path=/trunk/; revision=1096
1999-11-04Note that "ethereal -v" should give the GTK+ and "libpcap" versionGuy Harris1-1/+4
numbers. svn path=/trunk/; revision=975
1999-11-04Expand the description of the steps to take when reporting a bug.Guy Harris1-3/+11
svn path=/trunk/; revision=973
1999-10-31Add a module to wiretap to be able to read trace files from Toshiba'sGilbert Ramirez1-6/+23
line of ISDN routers. Much like the ascend reader, this module reads an ASCII hex dump of trace data. Rearranged the order in which wiretap tries trace files, to keep the ASCII-readers (ascend and toshiba) at the end, and put the binary-readers (everything else) at the front of the list. If a telnet session of and ascend trace or toshiba trace were captured near the beginning of another trace, wiretap might think the trace was ascend or toshiba if it tried that module first. Fixed the way wtap_seek_read() selects functions to call. It was using the encap type instead of the file type. We got lucky because WTAP_ENCAP_ASCEND == WTAP_FILE_ASCEND svn path=/trunk/; revision=952
1999-10-22Mention nettl in docs, and mention VLAN addition in NEWS.Gilbert Ramirez1-1/+1

svn path=/trunk/; revision=594
1999-08-20Made handling of byte strings in scanner and parser much simpler,Gilbert Ramirez1-3/+3
improving size of grammar and creating the possibility of dfilter_compile reporting errors back to user. In this case, if an ETHER variable is compared against a byte string that is not 6 bytes, an error condition is flagged appropriately. I have not put in the code to conver that error flag to a message to the user, but that's what I'm working on next. Also, fixed sample debug session in README to show correct gdb prompt. svn path=/trunk/; revision=522
