2024-07-25Docs: Move the User's and Developer's Guides to the doc directoryGerald Combs221-15340/+0
The documentation was originally kept in the "docbook" directory because it was written in the DocBook markup language. That hasn't been the case for a long time, so just move everything under "doc". Move make-wsluarm.py to the tools directory.

2024-07-05wsug: Change two wiki links from SSL to TLSJohn Thacker1-2/+2
We should do this anyway, but there's not even an active redirect currently. Ping #17999
2024-07-05docs: Switch the WSUG and WSDG back to using wiki.wireshark.orgJohn Thacker3-8/+8
Switch the wireshark-wiki-url attribute to point to wiki.wireshark.org again. Make the few cases in the WSUG and WSUG that don't use that attribute use it. Also switch README.dissector Ping #17999
2024-07-04text2pcap: L3PIDs are Ethertypes; update help and man pageChuck Craft1-6/+6
Related: 85986001
2024-07-03WSDG: update help messages.Guy Harris3-18/+7
Update the capinfos page to reflect changes to correctly describe what -a and -e do. Update the dumpcap page not to mention rpcap, as it's supported only if the pcap library supports it, and the only platform on which it's supported by default is Windows. Update the dumpcap and TShark man pages to remove a Linux-specific message.
2024-07-03Wireshark: Cmd-line prefs override profile prefsDavid Perry1-0/+14
When the user switches profiles, re-apply any preferences they specified on the command line, overriding those settings in the new profile. Add a callout in the User Guide to clarify that command-line preferences override profile preferences and continue to do so when switching profiles.

2024-07-01Qt: Replace "Contents" with "User's Guide"John Thacker1-1/+1
We're not using the Windows Help system, so "Contents" is a little confusing for the link that just opens the HTML User's Guide. Also make the tool tip show the URL that's actually going to be opened, meaning the local file when the local guide will be opened, as done with the man pages.
2024-06-29Qt: Extend Show Packet Bytes uncompressStig Bjørlykke1-4/+4
Add more compress routines to Show Packet Bytes decode as. Automatic detect which routine to use to avoid having a long list of various decode as variants. Show the compress algorithm in the hint.
2024-06-28docs: Add documentation for decode as Percent-EncodingStig Bjørlykke1-0/+2
Add missing documentation for Show Packet Bytes decode as Percent-Encoding.
2024-06-19docs: Remove user interface section from Wireshark man pageJohn Thacker2-19/+33
Point to the WSUG, which is much more detailed, up to date (the man page describes the UI from the GTK days), and has pictures. The WSUG is usually distributed with the program. Reorder a few items not in their current menus in the WSUG. Add Show Packet Bytes. Add a few minor details from the man page.

2024-06-14wsug: Use "Font and Colors" not "Fonts and Color"John Thacker1-2/+2
The namne of the preference module is "Font and Colors," which makes sense as we only have one font selection and several color selections. Make the WSUG section title match the module.

2024-06-07capture: Support the -F option, request nanosecond time stamp for pcapJohn Thacker1-11/+19
Support the -F option from the command line for dumpcap and wireshark, only supporting pcapng and pcap. Deprecate the -n and -P options. Make the output resemble that from libwiretap, but implement it separately because dumpcap intentionally does not link to libwiretap. Request nanosecond time stamps for the pcap format as well; we believe the vast majority of programs should be able to handle them at this point. The Internet Draft of the pcap format specification treats them as the same format: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-opsawg-pcap For now libwiretap still treats them as different formats, which allows converting explicitly between them; this can be used as a workaround if someone needs to convert to the microsecond time stamp pcap format. If someone requests nanosecond time resolution to tshark using the -F flag, allow it. Update the documentation. Fix #18009

2024-05-28doc: Move UAT tables back up a level in WSUGJohn Thacker1-22/+22
Unfortunately, while it makes more sense logically to put the tables under the UAT listing, it changes the links of the individual table sections in the chunked output from individual URLs to anchors, which breaks the help buttons. That's a problem so long as #11266 is still open. Revert that part.
2024-05-25doc: Mention the MaxMind default directoriesJohn Thacker1-3/+12
Clarify in the MaxMind Database Paths entry in the WSUG that the default search paths are always searched and don't need to be in the table, and what they are (especially on Windows.) Also mention how to view all the paths, including the default ones. Fix #16982
2024-05-24docs: Update Display Filter Macros, UATs in WSUG and elsewhereJohn Thacker4-126/+180
Add Display Filter Expressions to the Analyze menu items table Update the sections on Display Filter Macros to reflect that it is no longer a UAT and the new filename. Move the Display Filter Macros syntax to the section on defining and saving Display Filter Macros to consolidate information on macros. Indicate which UATs are per profile and which apply to all profiles. Add cross references. Put the UAT sections under the main UAT section. Part of #16982
2024-05-05docs: update WSUG and man pages for network resolutionJohn Thacker1-6/+49
Man pages: Mention hosts file in global directory Mention long name for manuf Mention ss7pcs Mention vlans Man pages and WSUG: Mention wka Mention that global manuf and services aren't shipped but compiled in and how to dump the information as a tshark report in the old format. Related to #17642

2024-04-19Revert "Remove version component from plugin path"Balint Reczey1-10/+6

Resolved conflicts in: * doc/release-notes.adoc * packaging/nsis/logray.nsi: Still install cloudtrail.dll to plugin path without version as changed in f4e71562d09d52fccd63b1839afefdc500bfcc7a. * ui/qt/about_dialog.cpp: Still capitalize "Binary plugins" as changed in 2155ef34b00b7ddb758f2cf1d1eeb4a9eaa379fc. * wsutil/filesystem.c: Keep init to zero removed as changed in d0b143bbecf422db5b6f51b549726786e85a3540.
2024-04-09Conversations: Introduce a deinterlacing methodEugène Adell3-0/+8
2024-04-04Qt: Add automatic profile switchingGerald Combs1-0/+6
Add the ability to automatically switch profiles based on display filters. Add an "Auto Switch Filter" column to the Configuration Profiles dialog which lets the user associate a display filter with a profile. Add a "gui.profile_switch_check_count" which determines the number of packets or events to check. When loading a capture file, switch to the first profile with a matching filter. Add a short description to the User's Guide. Hold off on updating ws-gui-config-profiles.png until we're sure the UI is stable. Ping #10352, #14226
2024-03-26Qt: Ensure IO Graph Legend appears if box checkedJohn Thacker1-1/+1
Since there is now a preference and checkbox for enabling and disabling the IO Graph legend, display it even if there is only one plot (or all the plots would have the same Y-axis) so long as the box is checked. Previously the logic was to display the legend if and only if plots had differing Y-axis information, but now the user can use the checkbox instead of relying on that heuristic. Also, ensure that we replot the legend layer when updating the legend (so that it appears or disappears without having to, e.g., mouse over the graph.) Follow up to bcc9e0db0c7724c401955229ed83f62a736bb041 Fix #13854
2024-03-09dfilter: Add vals (value string) functionJohn Thacker1-0/+4
Add a function to explicitly convert a field from its value to the value string output. We do this implicitly with some filters (i.e., comparing an integer type with a value string to a string), but having an explicit function allows it to be nested with other functions and operators, or used for custom fields.

2024-02-25doc: remove redundant sectionEugène Adell1-4/+0
2024-02-23dfilter: Add functions to override field baseJohn Thacker1-0/+2
Add field expression functions to convert unsigned integer and char fields to hex or decimal. (BASE_OCT is handled somewhat different currently now, presumably because it can't be used in filters, so leave that commented until it is handled as a display representation.) Currently string() always converts unsigned integers to their decimal representation so it is the same as dec(), but possibly in the future string() might use the native base. These can be used in columns thanks to the fix for #15990 Fix #5308
2024-02-07Logray: UI updatesGerald Combs2-5/+5
Change some instances of "packet" to "event" in Logray's menu items. Remove "Export Objects" and "Export PDUs" and associated code. Remove the packet diagram menu items and associated code. Remove the "Decode as" menu items and associated code. Use "Selected" instead of the parenthetical plural "Packet(s)" for marking and ignoring. Remove an attempt at plural translation which apparently doesn't work if we don't have a "%n" in the translation string.
2024-02-04Qt: Add delta times to the follow dialog text formatsGerald Combs1-2/+4
When showing the follow data as text (ASCII, UTF-8, EBCDIC, etc), add a newline at each turn. Add the ability to show delta times between packets and turns. Add a recent setting for delta times. Make the initial dialog a bit wider. Save and restore our scoll position when reading a stream. Manually connect our signals and slots. Fix some clazy warnings.
2024-01-31WSUG: update Service Response Time support listJoakim Karlsson1-0/+2
2024-01-30MATE: Update examplesJohn Thacker1-3/+3
Fix the distributed examples to use the "new" style configuration, as shown in the WSUG and Wiki. Fix the FTP example in the WSUG, as it's missing the Match keyword Related to #12118. Fix #16940
2024-01-29File sets: Match both formats, compressed filesJohn Thacker1-3/+6
For file sets produced by multiple file captures, match both the number before time and the newer time before number format. Distinguish them in the return value, since files of different formats are not part of the same set. Also handle files with a compression suffix as well, as we can produce that in captures. Since in multi file captures compression is done when switching files, allow file sets to have a mixture of files compressed and uncompressed. When doing a multi file capture and compressing, the last file is not compressed. Add information to the user guide and release notes Related to #12371
2024-01-24dfilter: Allow semicolons to separate macro name from arg listJohn Thacker1-1/+7
Instead of requiring ${macro:arg1;...;argN}, allow the format ${macro;arg1;...;argN}. The semicolon isn't used anywhere else, it's simple to support, and already used in the macro syntax. It's easier to remember if all the separators in a macro are the same. The colon is allowed in literals, which is why it's not used between the arguments in the macro argument list, and allowing it after the name makes the grammar more complicated, including tokenizing when having pop-ups of potential field matches in the display filter line edit (#19499.) Update the documentation for this. Also edit the documentation for macro syntax in a few places where it implies that whitespace in macro arguments would be ignored; in fact, it's significant.
