[[ChCodeOverview]]
=== Source overview
Wireshark consists of the following major parts:
* Packet dissection - in the '/epan/dissector' and '/plugin/*' directories
* File I/O - using Wireshark's own wiretap library
* Capture - using the libpcap/winpcap library, in '/wiretap'
* User interface - using the Qt or $$GTK+$$ and associated libraries
* Utilities - miscellaneous helper code
* Help - using an external web browser and GTK text output
[[ChCodeStyle]]
=== Coding Style
The coding style guides for Wireshark can be found in the "Code style"
section of the file 'doc/README.developer'.
[[ChCodeGLib]]
=== The GLib library
Glib is used as a basic platform abstraction library. It doesn't provide
any direct GUI functionality.
To quote the Glib Reference Manual:
____
GLib provides the core application building blocks for libraries and
applications written in C. It provides the core object system used in GNOME, the
main loop implementation, and a large set of utility functions for strings and
common data structures.
____
GLib contains lots of useful things for platform independent development.
See https://developer.gnome.org/glib/[] for details about GLib.
