2012-12-20Add -Q option to TShark to force only "true" errors to stderr. No "status" ↵Michael Mann1-0/+7
messages should be included if -Q option is specified. Bug 2881 (https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2881) svn path=/trunk/; revision=46627
2012-12-19Add missing wmem strbuf routine to the documentation.Evan Huus1-0/+1
svn path=/trunk/; revision=46625
2012-12-19Do a little more to discourage the use of proto_tree_add_text(): don'tJeff Morriss1-7/+9
use it as example in a few places and point out that if you're not using the return value to build a subtree, you probably shouldn't be using the function. svn path=/trunk/; revision=46617
2012-12-19Implement a basic singly-linked for wmem.Evan Huus1-2/+18
Re-implement the stack as a wrapper for that. svn path=/trunk/; revision=46607
2012-12-19Dispatch all allocator creations through a single function using an enum toEvan Huus1-16/+18
determine the desired type. This has two advantages over the old way: - just one environment variable for valgrind to override in order to guarantee that ALL allocators use memory it can track, and just one place to check that variable - allocator owners no longer have to include headers specific to their allocator, allowing them to change allocators without adjusting all their #includes svn path=/trunk/; revision=46604
2012-12-18Use 'new' instead of 'create' a consistent manner.Evan Huus1-6/+6
svn path=/trunk/; revision=46601
2012-12-18Come down harder on the evils of tvb_get_ptr(): advise not to use it.Jeff Morriss1-43/+28
Combine the two comments in the Portability section (which largely said the same thing) on the perils of that function. Don't suggest it as an option to ensure there are enough bytes in the TVB. svn path=/trunk/; revision=46590
2012-12-12Document the "-g" option to dumpcap.Jeff Morriss2-0/+14
Add that option to tshark, too, and document it. The option can't be given to Wireshark because the GUI already has a "-g" (goto packet). svn path=/trunk/; revision=46513
2012-12-08Recommend wmem over emem in the READMEs where possible.Evan Huus3-20/+27

2012-12-02Document the new pinfo pool, add a TODO list.Evan Huus1-7/+35
svn path=/trunk/; revision=46332
2012-11-29Add an add_hosts_file routine that adds a "hosts" path to an array andGerald Combs1-1/+1
use it in tshark.c instead of read_hosts_file. This lets us use "-H" multiple times. Make read_hosts_file static. svn path=/trunk/; revision=46273
2012-11-28Enhance README.qt documentationAlexis La Goutte1-2/+2

2012-11-10More wmem documentation.Evan Huus1-20/+62
svn path=/trunk/; revision=45989
2012-11-09Update wmem README to reflect the fact that wmem_file_scope() now works.Evan Huus1-4/+1
svn path=/trunk/; revision=45978
2012-11-08editcap does not support the -H and -W options, remove the description ofJeff Morriss1-26/+0
those options (which had been cut-n-paste from the tshark man page). For editcap to support these options it would either need to be linked against libwireshark or the address resolution stuff would need to be moved from libwireshark to, for example, libwsutil. svn path=/trunk/; revision=45975
2012-11-03More wmem documentation additions and updates. Still incomplete.Evan Huus1-13/+48

2012-10-30Some documentation for wmem.Evan Huus1-0/+145
svn path=/trunk/; revision=45832
2012-10-24List -z compare,... in the statistics documentation. Maybe someone who ↵Chris Maynard1-1/+6
actually knows how to use it could elaborate? svn path=/trunk/; revision=45769
2012-10-23Inspired by ↵Chris Maynard1-0/+6
http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users/201206/msg00025.html, add support for being able to specify a numeric range as the <selector> part of tshark's -d <layer type>==<selector>,<decode-as protocol> option. svn path=/trunk/; revision=45734
2012-10-04This is basically a rewrite from Jakub Zawadzki.Martin Mathieson1-6/+3
Rather than store the FrameRecord entries in a sorted linked list, instead use an unsorted GPtrArray, then sort it all at once. Also, there is no longer the option to limit the amount of sorting (and memory used), but a new option means we can avoid writing the output file altogether if the input file is found already to be in order. svn path=/trunk/; revision=45313
2012-10-03Add a command-line option to control how large the reordering list canMartin Mathieson1-4/+7
become. The default is now 0 (infinite). svn path=/trunk/; revision=45293
2012-10-03Fix a spelling mistake.Martin Mathieson1-1/+1
svn path=/trunk/; revision=45290
2012-10-03Also add the reordercap help files to CLEANFILES.Martin Mathieson1-0/+2

2012-10-03Add reordercap.pod to EXTRA_DISTJakub Zawadzki1-0/+1
svn path=/trunk/; revision=45284
2012-10-03Fix copy-paste bug.Jakub Zawadzki1-1/+1
it should also fix bulding error: Can't open ../../doc/reordercap.pod: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/pod2man line 60 svn path=/trunk/; revision=45283
2012-10-03Add a man page for reordercap.Martin Mathieson3-3/+89
svn path=/trunk/; revision=45282
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

svn path=/trunk/; revision=45161
2012-09-25Implement and document the Custom plugin system. Create relevant example ↵Jaap Keuter1-71/+122
files and add them to the distribution. Rewrite README.plugins to describe how to use this system. svn path=/trunk/; revision=45142
2012-09-21We are using GRegex in GLib since ~r31304, so stop referencing libpcre. Also,Chris Maynard1-11/+3
fix the perldoc link. Maybe someone else can figure out how to also fix: http contains "http://www.wireshark.org" Either the hyperlink should be made to work correctly by not including the trailing quote as part of the link, or simply change it so it's not hyperlinked at all. Also, it should display a terminating semi-colon as follows: http contains "http://www.wireshark.org"; svn path=/trunk/; revision=45035
2012-09-19We always HAVE_CONFIG_H so don't bother checking whether we have it or not.Jeff Morriss2-5/+1
svn path=/trunk/; revision=44997
2012-09-06Implement File→Merge. Gerald Combs1-2/+11
The GTK+ and native Win32 versions are slightly different. The GTK+ version lets you select an output file type and the Win32 version uses the existing capture filetype. We do the latter for now. Start documenting significant UI changes in README.qt. This might be better handled on the wiki. svn path=/trunk/; revision=44797
2012-08-29Trivial typo fix and duplicate word removal.Chris Maynard1-2/+2
svn path=/trunk/; revision=44695
2012-08-24Force extended value string linear search (not binary search) in one case:Bill Meier1-2/+10
Fixed: { -2, -1, 0, 1, 3} (note gap) used a binary search (which would fail); Note: { -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 ,3 } (no gap) allowed; will still do a direct access; Also: Add a comment to README.developer extended value string section. svn path=/trunk/; revision=44659
2012-08-24Minor update to tcp_dissect_pdus() section.Bill Meier1-3/+4

2012-07-26Well, since 1 instance of wireshark was already changed to Wireshark, we ↵Chris Maynard1-3/+3
might as well change the rest too for consistency. svn path=/trunk/; revision=44047

2012-07-23Combine the two display filter README's into one,Gilbert Ramirez1-8/+489
and add a lot of explanation about how the display filter engine works. Modify dftest.c to remove printing of the dfilter_t pointer, which has absolutely no value for the user. svn path=/trunk/; revision=43941
2012-07-08First phase of fixing https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7380 :Jeff Morriss3-0/+9
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
2012-07-07From Michael Mann:Guy Harris1-0/+1
Add a preference for the packet length statistics. Fixes bug 3239. svn path=/trunk/; revision=43597
