* Untested support for AiroPeek captures.Guy Harris2002-01-291-2/+2
| | | | svn path=/trunk/; revision=4619
* Fix up various product names and descriptions in the lists of fileGuy Harris2002-01-221-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | formats we can read; include vendor names. We should be able to read TokenPeek captures, as well as captures from the Windows versions of EtherPeek. Don't list the version numbers for EtherPeek and TokenPeek - those are file format version numbers, not program version numbers. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4599
* The Visual Networks tool that generates capture files that we now canGuy Harris2001-12-051-2/+2
| | | | | | read is Visual UpTime. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4339
* Note that Ethereal's and Tethereal's native capture file format isGuy Harris2001-12-051-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | libpcap format, and say that it's also used by "other tools" (tcpdump and Ethereal/Tethereal aren't the only tools that write captures in that format). Weaken the claim that we read Etherpeek files to say only that we read Etherpeek versions 5, 6, and 7 for Macintosh, so people don't conclude that we read Etherpeek-for-Windows captures (we don't). svn path=/trunk/; revision=4337
* Update the README file to reflect the current list of capture fileGuy Harris2001-12-041-5/+8
| | | | | | | | formats we can read (and to put them in the order in which they're mentioned in the man pages, to make it easier to make sure the lists are the same). svn path=/trunk/; revision=4330
* Hopefully the last time I have to change my e-mail address.Gilbert Ramirez2001-11-131-2/+2

* Make sure to pass the sent/received direction from pppdump.c inGilbert Ramirez2000-09-211-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pseudo_header. Use generic "p2p_phdr" instead of "lapd_phdr". Modify toshiba.c and packet-lapd.c to take that into account. Add frame.p2p_dir, a filterable field, 0=sent, 1=recvd Make p2p_dir available in packe_info, as I think it will be needed in VJ COMP and UNCOMP dissection. Rename WTAP_ENCAP_TR to WTAP_ENCAP_TOKEN_RING. Mention pppd-log support in man page. Mention atmsnoop in README. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2455
* Mention support for reading pppd log files.Gilbert Ramirez2000-09-201-1/+2
| | | | svn path=/trunk/; revision=2452
* Include bus errors and aborts, as well as segmentation violations, asGuy Harris2000-08-241-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | examples of errors that generate core dumps, and suggest that a stack trace from the debugger could be useful for *all* failures that produce core dumps. Note that the core dump file may be named "ethereal.core", and note that "tethereal" rather than "ethereal" should be used in file names if it's Tethereal that blew up. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2368
* More mention of csids support in wiretap.Gilbert Ramirez2000-08-221-7/+18
| | | | svn path=/trunk/; revision=2335
* Remove the IPv6 restriction for the Follow TCP stream feature.Laurent Deniel2000-08-151-4/+1
| | | | svn path=/trunk/; revision=2274
* Add the re-write of the NetWare Core Protocol dissector. It's mostlyGilbert Ramirez2000-07-281-2/+16
| | | | | | | | a framework for the dissector; of the more than 400 NCP packet types, only a handful are defined. But this dissector framework is much better than the previous one. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2173
* Document the fact that we can now read compressed Sniffer files.Gilbert Ramirez2000-06-081-6/+6
| | | | svn path=/trunk/; revision=2047
* Add last minute changes.Gilbert Ramirez2000-04-131-2/+2
| | | | | | Fix statement about Win32 version not capturing in README. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1846
* Give it an RCS ID.Guy Harris2000-02-191-0/+2

* Move version to 0.8.2, add Win32 to list of platforms in README.Gilbert Ramirez2000-01-261-2/+3
| | | | svn path=/trunk/; revision=1562
* Note that the Ethereal distribution also comes with Tethereal andGuy Harris2000-01-141-18/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | editcap. Expand the list of OSes on which Ethereal has (at least at one time) been built and used. Note that systems other than Solaris that use DLPI (e.g., HP-UX) may also have "/dev" entries that can be made more widely readable and writable to allow non-root users to capture packets. Note that we can read "i4btrace" capture files. Note that we now always do SNMP dissection, and that an external library just allows us to do more sophisticated dissection. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1470
* Remove the reference to my old samples directory on the web server;Gilbert Ramirez2000-01-101-4/+0
| | | | | | the new ethereal web site contains a link to its own samples directory. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1450
* Of the "zlib" functions we use that aren't in all versions of "zlib",Guy Harris1999-11-291-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | "gzgets()" is the one most recently added; it was added in 1.0.9. Check for it, rather than for a list of functions, when checking for "zlib" support - if you check for N functions, and they're all there, you get N "-lz"s added to the list of libraries with which to link. Indicate in the README that "zlib" versions prior to 1.0.9 definitely won't work. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1144
* Fix a typo, and just say that "ethereal -v" indicates the versions ofGuy Harris1999-11-291-4/+3
| | | | | | | the libraries with which Ethereal was built, rather than enumerating all the libraries for which it gives the version. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1143
* Add info about zlib version support.Gilbert Ramirez1999-11-291-0/+8

* Update documentation about iptrace version support.Gilbert Ramirez1999-11-261-1/+1

* Add a module to wiretap to be able to read trace files from Toshiba'sGilbert Ramirez1999-10-311-6/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | line of ISDN routers. Much like the ascend reader, this module reads an ASCII hex dump of trace data. Rearranged the order in which wiretap tries trace files, to keep the ASCII-readers (ascend and toshiba) at the end, and put the binary-readers (everything else) at the front of the list. If a telnet session of and ascend trace or toshiba trace were captured near the beginning of another trace, wiretap might think the trace was ascend or toshiba if it tried that module first. Fixed the way wtap_seek_read() selects functions to call. It was using the encap type instead of the file type. We got lucky because WTAP_ENCAP_ASCEND == WTAP_FILE_ASCEND svn path=/trunk/; revision=952
* Mention nettl in docs, and mention VLAN addition in NEWS.Gilbert Ramirez1999-10-221-1/+1
| | | | svn path=/trunk/; revision=904
* Changed version to 0.7.5Gilbert Ramirez1999-09-241-0/+1

* Updated docs.Gilbert Ramirez1999-08-271-12/+15
| | | | svn path=/trunk/; revision=594
* Made handling of byte strings in scanner and parser much simpler,Gilbert Ramirez1999-08-201-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | improving size of grammar and creating the possibility of dfilter_compile reporting errors back to user. In this case, if an ETHER variable is compared against a byte string that is not 6 bytes, an error condition is flagged appropriately. I have not put in the code to conver that error flag to a message to the user, but that's what I'm working on next. Also, fixed sample debug session in README to show correct gdb prompt. svn path=/trunk/; revision=522
* Made iptrace wiretap module return error on partial packets, instead ofGilbert Ramirez1999-08-201-0/+37
| | | | | | | expecting it as normal. Added paragraph about iptrace oddities to README. I also added a section to the README about how to report bugs. svn path=/trunk/; revision=519
* Fix a typo.Guy Harris1999-08-041-1/+1
| | | | svn path=/trunk/; revision=437
* Fixed match_selected to work with new display filter code. It usesGilbert Ramirez1999-08-041-2/+3
| | | | | | | "frame[x:y]" in the display filte that it creates so that it works with any datalink type. svn path=/trunk/; revision=431
* Update documentation, including display filter docs.Gilbert Ramirez1999-08-031-7/+3
| | | | svn path=/trunk/; revision=427
* Add back in the note about GNU "make", "flex", and "bison"/BerkeleyGuy Harris1999-07-091-2/+15
| | | | | | "yacc" being required. svn path=/trunk/; revision=352
* Added the ability to create a read-only ethereal, i.e., one thatGilbert Ramirez1999-07-091-16/+6
| | | | | | | | | | doesn't link with libpcap, so no packet captures can be made. The "--disable-pcap" option has been added to the configure script. Docs have been updated. And the string buffer size in the simple_dialog() has been doubled so that Johan's e-mail address in the "About" dialogue window doesn't get chopped off. svn path=/trunk/; revision=351
* Created a new protocol tree implementation and a new display filterGilbert Ramirez1999-07-071-13/+0
| | | | | | | mechanism that is built into ethereal. Wiretap is now used to read all file formats. Libpcap is used only for capturing. svn path=/trunk/; revision=342
* Note that non-GNU "make"s appear not to be able to build Ethereal, andGuy Harris1999-07-041-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | that you need "flex" and either "bison" or Berkeley "yacc". (XXX - should notes such as this go in some other file, e.g. INSTALL? I discovered the "flex" and "bison"/byacc requirement on a Solaris 7 system, but it's probably a problem on other commercial UNIXes, as well, so it probably doesn't belong in, say, "README.solaris".) svn path=/trunk/; revision=337
* Added a paragraph explaining that the SNMP decode in ethereal usesGilbert Ramirez1999-06-211-0/+11
| | | | | | | | either the UCD or CMU SNMP library. Also documented the fact that SNMP support in ethereal can be disabled with the "--disable-snmp" option to 'configure'. svn path=/trunk/; revision=322
* Miscellaneous updates of README and README.tru64 created.Laurent Deniel1999-04-301-0/+3
| | | | svn path=/trunk/; revision=250
* Docs updated for ethereal-0.6.0Gilbert Ramirez1999-04-301-0/+5
| | | | svn path=/trunk/; revision=248
* Jun-ichiro's IPv6 patch is merged in with ethereal and now uses the newGilbert Ramirez1999-03-281-3/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | proto*() functions. The configure script tries to use ipv6 name resolution if it knows the type of ipv6 stack the user has (this can be avoided with the --disable-ipv6 switch) Additionally, the configure script now deals with wiretap better. If the user doesn't want to compile wiretap, the wiretap is never visited. A few unnecessary #includes were removed from some wiretap files, and a CPP macro was moved from bpf.c to wtap.h. svn path=/trunk/; revision=229
* Disables "Follow TCP Stream" if compiled with wiretap.Gilbert Ramirez1999-03-011-7/+9
| | | | svn path=/trunk/; revision=199
* Add Network Monitor and "iptrace" to the list of capture file formatsGuy Harris1999-01-301-3/+4
