2005-03-07Call the "new-style init" routine for plugins a "register" routine, asGuy Harris1-1/+1
it serves the same purpose as the register routine in a built-in dissector, and don't require all dissectors to have one, as they might just be taps. Get rid of the stats tree's init routine, as it's just a tap, and as it doesn't do anything. Update the idl2eth Python script to generate plugins with register routines. svn path=/trunk/; revision=13644
2005-03-05Preparations for dropping the old plugin api.Lars Roland1-22/+18
Introduce a new init routine for plugins, which does not take the plugin api table as an argument and allows etheral to distinguish between plugins using the old and the new api. Update README.plugins accordingly Change all g_warnings() in epan/plugins.c to report_failue(). On windows we do not have a log console open while loading the plugins, because a log console cannot be opened before the prefs have been read. Thus g_warnings() does not work for reporting problems with plugins. svn path=/trunk/; revision=13596
2005-03-01From Graeme Hewson: rename the global preferences file to "preferences"Guy Harris2-37/+37
(it's now in an "ethereal" directory, so there's no need for it to have a name that distinguishes it from files for other programs) - if it's not found as "preferences", try "ethereal.conf" for compatibility - and update the man pages appropriately. Fix a typo in the section color filters (the file name is "colorfilters", not "color filters"). svn path=/trunk/; revision=13559

2005-02-14Make the "maintainer-clean" rules get rid of some additional generatedGuy Harris1-0/+2
files. Do this with GENERATED_HEADER_FILES, GENERATED_C_FILES, and GENERATED_FILES macros in Makefile.common files, along the lines of what wiretap/Makefile.common has. Clean up "*~" files with "make clean" rather than only "make distclean" in some additional places. Add "maintainer-clean" rules to the Makefile.nmake files, paralelling the ones in the automake-generated Makefile.in files, using the GENERATED_FILES macros from Makefile.common files. In some cases, move the cleanup of files from "make distclean" to "make maintainer-clean", and in other cases, put in a comment indicating why we're not doing that (because some files that are distributed in the source tarballs, namely Flex output, were built with a UN*X Flex and won't compile on Windows, so we get rid of them with "make distclean" so you can clean up stuff that *has* to be re-generated for Windows). Clean up some *CLEANFILES definitions - get rid of ones that no longer apply as files were moved or that add to the definition a name that's already there. svn path=/trunk/; revision=13402

2004-10-26Document the personal capture and display filters list in the FILESGuy Harris1-10/+14
section, as is done for other files. Just refer to those files in the section for the "Save" button for the capture and display filter dialog boxes. svn path=/trunk/; revision=12398
2004-10-22For the .pod->.html rules, find the ".pod" files in $(srcdir),Guy Harris1-6/+6
just as we do for the .pod->.[1-9] rules. svn path=/trunk/; revision=12372
2004-10-20renamed capinfo to capinfos, as the former name capinfo was already used in ↵Ulf Lamping3-30/+30
a program called tcprelay, so that might confuse packaging managers and users. Hopefully I got all the places need to be changed. svn path=/trunk/; revision=12358
2004-10-20Update the man page to indicate that "-q", when capturing without "-w",Guy Harris1-3/+4
suppresses the printing of packet information. svn path=/trunk/; revision=12353

2004-10-01From Lars Roland: we need to define _NEED_VAR_IMPORT_ in plugins if weGuy Harris1-2/+2
link the plugins with libethereal, so do so. svn path=/trunk/; revision=12176
2004-09-29From Lars Roland: add an option to link plugins with libethereal ratherGuy Harris1-2/+11
than using the plugin address table. svn path=/trunk/; revision=12139
2004-09-17Note that declarations in the middle of a block aren't supported by allGuy Harris1-0/+10
compilers, and thus shouldn't be used. svn path=/trunk/; revision=12029
2004-09-11Note that _WIN32, not WIN32, should be used in #ifdefs and #ifs testingGuy Harris1-0/+7
the platform for which we're building (and that both should be avoided if possible, i.e. write your code so that it works on all platforms). svn path=/trunk/; revision=11973
2004-09-07Note that developers should avoid GTK+ 2.x/GLib 2.x-only stuff (and, inGuy Harris1-0/+14
particularly, should disregard all the renaming they did of some routines, as the old names work Just Fine in 2.x but the new names don't work in 1.2[.x]). svn path=/trunk/; revision=11936

2004-08-22Add "tvb_get_ntoh64()" and "tvb_get_letoh64()" routines to fetch 64-bitGuy Harris2-6/+32
integers. Make FT_INT64 and FT_UINT64 add numerical values, rather than byte-array values, to the protocol tree, and add routines to add specified 64-bit integer values to the protocol tree. Use those routines in the RSVP dissector. svn path=/trunk/; revision=11796
2004-08-19Note that "G_GINT64_CONSTANT()" should be used for constant values thatGuy Harris1-6/+19
don't fit in 32 bits, rather than using "LL" at the end. Clean up some other 64-bit-integer items. svn path=/trunk/; revision=11779
2004-08-12From Graeme Hewson: Keep the list of authors in the Ethereal man page from Gerald Combs1-1/+1
wrapping, and fix the title. svn path=/trunk/; revision=11727
2004-08-03Disallow "-f" when not doing a live capture, rather than just ignoringGuy Harris1-5/+9
the specified filter. Note in the manual that you can't use capture filters when reading a capture file, and that read filters might require too much CPU when doing a live capture. svn path=/trunk/; revision=11594
2004-07-30Strip out the CR's, set svn:eol-style to native, and get rid of theGuy Harris1-206/+206

svn path=/trunk/; revision=11555
2004-07-23Note that you *MUST* make sure "match_strval()" doesn't return nullGuy Harris1-1/+13
before using its value, or must check for a null return value and handle it specially, otherwise you put Ethereal at risk of crashing with bad packet data. svn path=/trunk/; revision=11475

and coding guidelines. svn path=/trunk/; revision=11418
2004-07-18Set the svn:eol-style property on all text files to "native", so thatGuy Harris14-17/+17
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
2004-07-16From Debian. Likely author: Frederic Peters <fpeters@debian.org>Jörg Mayer2-1/+2

2004-07-10SUM, like COUNT, MIN, MAX, and AVG, computes the value over theGuy Harris1-4/+4
interval, not over the entire capture (a sum over the entire capture would yield only one value, which isn't very interesting to plot). svn path=/trunk/; revision=11359

svn path=/trunk/; revision=11358
2004-07-08Give more details on the "don't build the protocol tree if you don'tGuy Harris1-7/+22
have to", indicating that if it's too much work to explicitly test for a null protocol tree, you might want to avoid those tests and rely on the protocol tree routines not to do much work if passed a null protocol tree pointer. svn path=/trunk/; revision=11346
2004-07-08"Frame" -> "Packet", as per UI and Ethereal man page changes.Guy Harris1-12/+12
svn path=/trunk/; revision=11345
2004-07-08Document "-T psml", and give more details in the descriptiion of theGuy Harris1-24/+58
"-T" option. Talk about packet details rather than the protocol tree, just as we do in the Ethereal manual page. Clean up the descriptions of some of the "-z" options. Fix some typos. svn path=/trunk/; revision=11344
