2018-12-13text2pcap: allow to set interface nameJaap Keuter1-0/+6
When generating a capture file from a text file it can be helpfull to be able to set the capture interface name in the generated IDB. This can be especially true if later on the generated captures are merged and the individual IDB's have to be compared. Without a name every IDB of the same datalink type will be equal and subject to merge. Also it keeps the individual streams identifiable for the end user.

2018-12-07PCAP/PCAPNG: Be consistent in documentation, etcJaap Keuter1-1/+1
1) The default build configuration is to select PCAPNG as output format, but it can be selected as PCAP. Some of the command line tools have the option to select the output format and default towards the build configuration. This has to be reflected in their help output also. 2) Various documentation files are still stating that PCAP is the default format of various tools. With the default build configuration being PCAPNG these have to be adjusted as well. (with lack of dynamic content the documentation can only refer to the default build configuration format).

2013-12-26Since the documentation states that, "Text2pcap understands a hexdump of the ↵Chris Maynard1-7/+5
form generated by od -Ax -tx1 -v.", supply an example that actually matches that format. In addition, change the hex bytes so that they represent a valid, well-formed packet, rather than a malformed RSVP packet. This should allow a user to more clearly verify that the text2pcap converstion worked as expected in the event he/she desires to test text2pcap using the example provided. svn path=/trunk/; revision=54454

svn path=/trunk/; revision=51950
2013-07-29The argument to the -l flag to text2pcap is a LINKTYPE_ value, not aGuy Harris1-3/+3
DLT_ value, which is good because it's a numerical value and the numerical values for some link-layer header types are OS-dependent, but the numerical values for all LINKTYPE_ values are OS-independent. Use LINKTYPE_RAW, not the value for the DLT_RAW on some but not all OSes, for raw IP. Also, 7 is LINKTYPE_ARCNET_BSD, emphasis on the "_BSD"; there's also a Linux encapsulation for ARCNet that is different. Note that it's the BSD flavor. svn path=/trunk/; revision=51005
2013-07-28If a core Wireshark developer repeatedly can't remember that theGuy Harris1-1/+1
argument to the -F flag for pcap format is "libpcap", not "pcap", we have a problem. Make it "pcap", and add a backwards-compatibility hack to support using "libpcap" as well. Update the man pages to refer to it as pcap as well, and fix the capitalization of "WinPcap" (see http://www.winpcap.org) while we're at it. Also, refer to http://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html for the list of link-layer header types for pcap and pcap-ng. svn path=/trunk/; revision=50989

2011-10-23Speak of a "link-layer header type" rather than a "link-layer type"; aGuy Harris1-5/+6
given link-layer type, e.g. 802.11, might have multiple header types (802.11, 802.11 plus various radio headers, Ethernet), and multiple link-layer types might have the same header type (802.11 interfaces might supply Ethernet headers, and Linux loopback interfaces supply Ethernet headers as well). Point to tcpdump.org's page of link-layer header types, rather than to the net/bpf.h header that 1) might not exist on your system and 2) might not be up-to-date if it does exist. svn path=/trunk/; revision=39529

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
