2013-07-28If a core Wireshark developer repeatedly can't remember that theGuy Harris1-7/+8
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

This patch augments Wireshark's and tshark's augument usage reports (-? and -t?) and the Wireshark and tshark man pages to list all available timestamp options available for the -t option. svn path=/trunk/; revision=50445

2013-06-05Add a new environment variable to cause abort()s if we add too many itemsJeff Morriss1-0/+12
to the tree (to separate this case from the generic DISSECTOR_BUG case). Enable this environment variable when fuzz testing. Enable the 3rd (without tree but with a read filter) check (added in r49643) when testing capture files but not when fuzz testing--not sure if we want to add even more to the fuzzbot's work load now (OTOH I've been running it for a while and it hasn't buried me in bugs). svn path=/trunk/; revision=49784

svn path=/trunk/; revision=47937
2013-01-16As suggested in comments in sl_alloc() and sl_free(): add a new environmentJeff Morriss1-0/+6
variable (WIRESHARK_DEBUG_USE_SLICES) which turns off the slab allocator and uses g_slices instead (which can themselves be turned off by setting G_SLICE=always-malloc). This makes debugging problems in slab-allocated memory easier to find (hopefully including https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8197 ). Set WIRESHARK_DEBUG_USE_SLICES when running Valgrind on *shark. Remove unused structure member: emem_chunk_t.org. svn path=/trunk/; revision=47110

2012-10-01The -B option is no longer only available in Win32: remove the Win32Jeff Morriss1-2/+2
restriction from the Synopsis. This is the man page for Wireshark, not Tshark (fix a cut-n-pasteo). svn path=/trunk/; revision=45229
2012-07-08First phase of fixing https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7380 :Jeff Morriss1-0/+3
Add a new name resolution option: whether or not use the configured (in the OS) name resolver (e.g., DNS) to resolve network names. When this option is disabled but network name resolution is enabled then Wireshark will resolve only those names that it can from local sources. This includes (at least, AFAIK): - name resolutions that Wireshark picks up on from DNS packets it decodes - the "user hosts file" (~/.wireshark/hosts on *NIX) - what Wireshark reads out of capture file (the PCAPNG name resolution block) This new preference defaults to "use external resolvers" for backward compatibility (so people turning on network name resolution will get the old behavior). This option can be set via Edit->Preferences and on the command line; there remain several UIs (e.g., the "open capture file" dialog, the View->Name Resolution menu, etc.) that don't have the new option yet. Also expand on the "description" for the name resolution preferences: these are used not only in the tooltips but are also written to the preferences file. The previous text didn't include enough context when written do the preferences file. svn path=/trunk/; revision=43605

return the right error code and information string. InfoVista bought Accellent Group, and, at least according to the InfoVista Web site, it's "5View", not "5Views". svn path=/trunk/; revision=42119

2012-03-19Add a new environment variable (WIRESHARK_ABORT_ON_OUT_OF_MEMORY) thatJeff Morriss1-3/+10
prevents OutOfMemory exceptions from being thrown. This makes it easier to debug such conditions. Set this variable in test-fuzzed-cap.sh but not in fuzz-test.sh; it's nice to see the friendly out-of-memory error message in the bug reports the latter script generates. svn path=/trunk/; revision=41656
