svn path=/trunk/; revision=13033
2005-01-13Add support for a personal hosts file.Guy Harris2-33/+50
Clean up the description of the global and personal ethers and ipxnets files. svn path=/trunk/; revision=13017
2005-01-07Grammar and typo fix from Mike Duigou.Guy Harris1-2/+2
svn path=/trunk/; revision=12979
2005-01-03Let capinfos print statistics for more than one file. NormalizeGerald Combs1-3/+5
capitalization. svn path=/trunk/; revision=12945
2004-12-28add a more detailed description, how to add a new dissector fileUlf Lamping1-0/+6
svn path=/trunk/; revision=12847
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
2004-10-18Add a rule to make ../AUTHORS-SHORT-FORMAT, as it won't necessarily haveGuy Harris1-1/+6
been made by the time this Makefile is used. svn path=/trunk/; revision=12336
2004-10-17From Graeme Hewson: make AUTHORS-SHORT not include formatting codes,Guy Harris2-4/+4
with AUTHORS-SHORT-FORMAT containing the formatting codes. svn path=/trunk/; revision=12334
2004-10-14From Jeff Morriss: PREF_RANGE preference type, for ranges of integers.Guy Harris1-0/+8
svn path=/trunk/; revision=12300
2004-10-06Note that variadic macros shouldn't be used.Guy Harris1-0/+17
svn path=/trunk/; revision=12224
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
2004-09-05Fix cosmetic errors in the AUTHORS file and in ethereal.pod.Olivier Biot1-9/+17
svn path=/trunk/; revision=11907
2004-08-31add HFILL to the skeleton example and documentation of the field registrationUlf Lamping1-5/+8
svn path=/trunk/; revision=11864
2004-08-31corrected paths, where the dissectors and the corresponding Makefile.common ↵Ulf Lamping1-3/+3
can be found, to epan/dissectors svn path=/trunk/; revision=11858
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:executable property. svn path=/trunk/; revision=11569
2004-07-29Clean up the capinfo files, so that we pass "distcheck."Gerald Combs1-0/+2
svn path=/trunk/; revision=11567
2004-07-29Add capinfo targets.Gerald Combs1-0/+12
svn path=/trunk/; revision=11560
2004-07-28From Ian Schorr: capinfo - provides capture file information.Olivier Biot2-3/+223
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
2004-07-18 .cvsignore is deadJörg Mayer1-10/+0
it has been replaced by svn proplist -v <dir/file> and svn propedit <dir/file> svn path=/trunk/; revision=11422
2004-07-18Add epan/dissectors/.cvsignoreJörg Mayer1-0/+2
Add tags and TAGS to all .cvsignore files svn path=/trunk/; revision=11419
2004-07-18SNPRINTF isn't used any more - remove from sample dissectorJörg Mayer1-6/+3
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
* Updated omniorb URL (closes: #257512) run pod2man with --section=4 for ethereal-filter svn path=/trunk/; revision=11383
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
2004-07-10Clean up some formatting, and fix some typoes.Guy Harris1-25/+41
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
2004-07-03Update to current setup.Michael Tüxen1-14/+22
svn path=/trunk/; revision=11304
2004-06-27Add more distclean files.Gerald Combs1-1/+3
svn path=/trunk/; revision=11250
2004-06-27Fixes needed for "make distcheck".Gerald Combs1-4/+7
svn path=/trunk/; revision=11247
2004-06-25tmpnam() really should not be used for security reasons.Jörg Mayer1-4/+9
Replace it where used and update README.developer accordingly. svn path=/trunk/; revision=11235
2004-06-23Add paragraph about freeing tvbuffs.Gilbert Ramirez1-7/+14
svn path=/trunk/; revision=11218
2004-06-23Build and install the HTMLized man pages on UN*X.Guy Harris1-2/+51
svn path=/trunk/; revision=11217
2004-06-19Pick up the stuff I did for tcpdump to figure out the right strings toGuy Harris1-12/+17
use to format 64-bit integers. Fix the RSVP dissector to use that rather than hardcoding "%ll" in. Remove the "only if G_HAVE_GINT64 is defined" bit from the discussion of 64-bit integers - we're too dependent on having them to support compilers that don't have a 64-bit integral data type. Do, however, note that neither "long" nor "long long" are acceptable, and also note that you shouldn't assume "%ll" does the trick for printing them. svn path=/trunk/; revision=11182
2004-06-03From Graeme Hewson:Guy Harris1-86/+106
Remove reference to negative slice lengths. Clean and polish. svn path=/trunk/; revision=11086
2004-05-31Make "-q" suppress packet printing when you're reading a capture fileGuy Harris1-6/+25
and not writing to another capture file, for use with "-z" options. Note that "-z proto" *doesn't* print statistics at the end - it modifies the packet summary output. Note that on at least some BSDs the "status" character is set to "off" by default, so you have to set it explicitly in order to be able to ^T an application such as Tethereal. svn path=/trunk/; revision=11038
2004-05-24Have two strings in an enum_val_t - one that's a short string that isGuy Harris1-16/+31
convenient to put into a command line (no capital letters, no spaces to require quotes), and one that's a detailed description for use in the UI. Allow either of them in the preferences file or "-o" option; use the detailed description in the UI, and also use it when writing the preferences out, so that the preference will be readable by older versions of Ethereal (assuming the preference existed in that version). Update "README.developer" to give more detail about an enum_val_t (and to put the _t in), and to give a more detailed description of the "radio_buttons" argument to "prefs_register_enum_preference()". svn path=/trunk/; revision=10982
