2021-07-15Clean up handling of --capture-comment.Guy Harris1-1/+6
Don't store the comments in a capture_options structure, because that's available only if we're being built with capture support, and --capture-comment can be used in TShark when reading a capture file and writing another capture file, with no live capture taking place. This means we don't handle that option in capture_opts_add_opt(); handle it in the programs that support it. Support writing multiple comments in dumpcap when capturing. These changes also fix builds without pcap, and makes --capture-comment work in Wireshark when a capture is started from the command line with -k. Update the help messages to indicate that --capture-comment adds a capture comment, it doesn't change any comment (much less "the" comment, as there isn't necessarily a single comment). Update the man pages: - not to presume that only pcapng files support file comments (even if that's true now, it might not be true in the future); - to note that multiple instances of --capture-comment are supported, and that multiple comments will be written, whether capturing or reading one file and writing another; - clarify that Wireshark doesn't *discard* SHB comments other than the first one, even though it only displays the first one;

2021-06-17Docs: Remove the authors list from wireshark(1).Gerald Combs1-0/+2972
The AUTHORS section of wireshark(1) is about half the content of the man page. While it's important to acknowledge the people who have contributed to the project, the goal of the man page is to tell people how to use Wireshark. Replace the list of authors with text that acknowledges their contributions along with pointers to the AUTHORS file and the list on the main web site.

2007-11-24This patch adds (ten) temporary coloring rules which will only live until ↵Sake Blok1-0/+8
Wireshark is quit. Temporary coloring filters can be set by: - pressing <ctrl>-<digit> will create a conversation coloring filter based on the addresses of the currently selected packet (order TCP/UDP/IP/Ethernet) This can also be achieved from the "View|Colorize Conversation" menu. - Rightclicking on a packet in the packet-list will give the option to "Colorize Conversation" just as "Conversation Filter" does. - Rightclicking on an item in the packet-detail-list will give the option to "Colorize with filter" which works similar to "Apply as filter" Temporary filters can be cleared from the same menus or by pressing <ctrl>-<space>. This patch also adds an item to the above mentioned menu's to add a permanent color filter in the same way. The colors for the temporary coloring rules are now hardcoded as I do not know how to change the color of menu-items and therefore I chose to use icons to show the actual color of each of the ten temporary coloring rules. Is it at all possible to have different menu items in different colors? One other way of solving this is to recreate the icons on the fly after changing the colors. I will have a look into that once it is clear whether I can use different colors within the menu structure. svn path=/trunk/; revision=23560

2007-03-23From Sake Blok:Stephen Fisher1-2/+5
Fix for bug #491: Unexpected frame.time_delta behavior This patch ... fixes bug 491. It does this by changing the behaviour of the frame.time_delta field so it reflects the delta time between captured packets (tshark already did this). To keep the delta time between displayed packets, the field frame.time_delta_displayed is created. svn path=/trunk/; revision=21154
2007-03-08from Sake Blok:Ulf Lamping1-10/+21
I have changed the patch according to your suggestions and also changed the doc[book] files accordingly. I tested the patch and it does seem to work fine on my test-system. ULFL: In addition, I've added the en-/disabling to the other (already existing) Copy menu items - some just did nothing, some crashed if nothing was selected. I've also sligthly changed the menu seperators and made both context menus look a bit more identical. svn path=/trunk/; revision=21005

by myself: Corrected patch; epan/column.c and epan/column_utils.c were not included. This one has now been properly tested against a clean checkout of today's code. - New menu option available under view\time display format - New sub-option (e) to -t switch for both wireshark and tshark - Extended recent settings code to handle new value - Did NOT add new explicit epoch time column svn path=/trunk/; revision=20040
2006-09-15Use SESSIONNAME instead of CLIENTNAME to try to detect RDP sessions.Gerald Combs1-1/+1
Look for a string that starts with "rdp". This should take care of cases where a default capture filter is set needlessly. Update the docs accordingly. svn path=/trunk/; revision=19236
