The attached patch extends the synopsys and adds an 'Examples' chapter to the editcap documentation. I've edited this a bit, without the real knowledge :-(, to make it: a. look better b. make more sense (at least to me) svn path=/trunk/; revision=16325

2002-07-31From Motonori Shindo: support for reading CoSine L2 debug output.Guy Harris1-7/+7
svn path=/trunk/; revision=5922
2002-03-26From Andrew Feren:Guy Harris1-1/+1
Man pages don't have any notion of external links and there isn't enough information for pod2html to resolve the links for manpages in the "See Also" section of the man pages. As a result running pod2html generates a bunch of warning messages and just emphasizes/italicizes the text. Therefore, we change the link (L<name>) command to an emphasizes (I<name>) command. The net result is the same, but you don't get the warnings when generating HTML docs. At some point in the future someone might want to do the work to get the links to generate correctly, but until then this will shut up pod2html. svn path=/trunk/; revision=5021
2002-01-29Untested support for AiroPeek captures.Guy Harris1-12/+13
svn path=/trunk/; revision=4619
2002-01-22Fix up various product names and descriptions in the lists of fileGuy Harris1-15/+16
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
2002-01-18It's EtherPeek, not Etherpeek, as WildPackets' Web site indicates.Guy Harris1-1/+1
svn path=/trunk/; revision=4562
2001-12-05The Visual Networks tool that generates capture files that we now canGuy Harris1-1/+1
read is Visual UpTime. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4339
2001-12-05Note that Ethereal's and Tethereal's native capture file format isGuy Harris1-15/+17
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 manual pages to reflect the addition of support for readingGuy Harris1-9/+10
and writing Visual Networks traffic capture files. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4329

Update the lists of known capture file formats in the Tethereal, editcap, and mergecap man pages to match the current list (as found in the Ethereal man page). svn path=/trunk/; revision=4039

Renfro. svn path=/trunk/; revision=3696
2001-07-05Don't capitalize the names of programs in the summary lines of man pagesGuy Harris1-1/+1
- at least some versions of makewhatis (e.g., the Solaris version) uses that name in a case-sensitive fashion, so you can't do "man ethereal", say, you have to do "man Ethereal", and that doesn't work as the man page file is "ethereal.1", not "Ethereal.1". svn path=/trunk/; revision=3656
2000-11-07Change zing.org addresses to ethereal.com.Gerald Combs1-1/+1

2000-08-09Document that ranges of packet numbers can be specified.Guy Harris1-1/+4
svn path=/trunk/; revision=2234
2000-07-26In the final scene of the horror movie, just when you think the monsterGuy Harris1-3/+4
is finally dead, and you're walking away, it springs up again and attacks. It appears that the ss990915 version of Alexey Kuznetzov's libpcap patch has some extra stuff in the per-packet header for some sort of SMP debugging, and that SuSE Linux 6.3 picked it up. Thus, even if a libpcap file has the modified magic number, we *still* have to go through the usual heuristic hell to figure out what type of file it is. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2164
2000-05-25Support for reading compressed Sniffer files, from Tim Farley, JoergGuy Harris1-5/+5
Mayer, and yours truly. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2002
2000-04-27Add a "-s" flag to editcap, to make it truncate packets to a specifiedGuy Harris1-9/+25
snapshot length before writing them to the output file; this may come in handy if you are translating the file to a different format so that it can be read by a program that can't handle packets above a certain size (e.g., the snoop in Solaris 2.5.1 or 2.6, which reject Ethernet packets larger than the Ethernet MTU, and thus can't handle gigabit Ethernet captures using jumbo frames). svn path=/trunk/; revision=1891
2000-03-07Note that the "-T" flag doesn't cause "editcap" to translate link-layerGuy Harris1-1/+7
headers, it just causes it to force the encapsulation type of the output file to the specified type. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1702
2000-01-09Add a man page for "editcap".Guy Harris1-0/+97
