* Fixup a few man pages. [skip ci]Denis Ovsienko2021-12-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | In pcap_get_required_select_timeout.3pcap merge two "backward compatibility" sections into one. In pcap-filter.manmisc.in, pcap-config.1 and pcap_dump_open.3pcap.in make section names consistent with other man pages.
* man: Fixup some typos and letter case. [skip ci]Denis Ovsienko2020-08-221-1/+1

* pcap_dump_open: clarify what happens with pcap_dump_fopen().Guy Harris2020-07-031-0/+3
| | | | | | Note that it does *not* append. This is an additional fix for GitHub issue #950.
* pcap_dump_open: fix documentation.Guy Harris2020-07-031-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | Document that pcap_dump_open() will overwrite an existing file. Document that pcap_dump_open_append() will create the file if it doesn't exist, rather than falsely claiming it won't. This should fix GitHub issue #950.
* Show correct last modified date in all man pages.Denis Ovsienko2020-02-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | For clarity, as before, the last modified date stands for changes more substantial than trivial editorial and formatting fixups. That, for example, would be at least a change of the described behaviour, return value, semantics or backward compatibility. [skip ci]
* Style cleanup.Guy Harris2019-11-231-6/+7
| | | | | | | | Use the BSD house style, in which, in foobar() returns 17 on success and 137 on failure. "foobar" is boldfaced but "()" isn't.
* Fix manpage reference formatting to be consistent.Daniel Miller2018-08-241-11/+11
| | | | | | | All manpage references such as pcap_create(3PCAP) will now be formatted with the identifier (e.g. "pcap_create") in **bold** and the section name (e.g. "(3PCAP)") in roman (default) face. This is how most manpages seem to be formatted and makes things more consistent.
* Add some "what if it's an earlier release" information.Guy Harris2018-08-221-1/+3
| | | | | | Expand the BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY section to either say "sorry, you can't get that with earlier releases of libpcap" or "if you need this, here's what you'd have to do".
* Add backward compatibility notes to some man pages.Denis Ovsienko2018-08-221-1/+6
| | | | | | (as suggested by Daniel Miller in GH #745) [skip ci]
* Make more small fixups to the man pages.Denis Ovsienko2018-07-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | Among other things make sure a reference to pcap(3PCAP) is in the SEE ALSO section of every man page by default. [skip ci]
* Refine references in some man pages, round 3.Denis Ovsienko2018-07-171-12/+10

* Remove trailing spacesFrancois-Xavier Le Bail2018-07-111-1/+1

* Update the timestamp in some man pages.Denis Ovsienko2018-07-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | In the man pages that since the previous timestamp had meaningful (i.e. not typos or whitespace fixups) changes set the timestamp to the date of such last meaningful change. [skip ci]
* docs: pcap_dump_fopen() stream is closed by pcap_dump_close()Anthony Kirby2018-06-221-1/+3
| | | | | | | | It isn't stated in the documentation whether the FILE* passed to pcap_dump_fopen() will be closed by a subsequent pcap_dump_close(). This lack of clarity can cause the user to close the FILE* themselves after calling pcap_dump_close(), which leads to SIGABRT on some platforms.
* improve some man pages formattingDenis Ovsienko2017-01-251-2/+2
| | | | | | | | In some man pages the roff processor hyphenated function names in the "SEE ALSO" section, add markup to prevent that. Also disable line adjustment in pcap-tstamp.manmisc to suppress the warning: <standard input>:171: warning [p 2, 11.0i]: cannot adjust line
* update last modified date in man page(s)Denis Ovsienko2015-12-181-1/+1

* Fix documentation.Guy Harris2015-02-161-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | Sadly, there's no fopen() mode that says "create this if it doesn't exist, *leave it alone if it does*, open the file for reading and writing, and *don't* force all writes to append to the file"; for now, we just go with the semantics of "r+", which means it fails if it doesn't exist. That's what Mark Johnston's patch, from which the earlier change was derived, did.
* Add pcap_dump_open_append() to open for appending.Guy Harris2015-02-151-1/+11
| | | | See GitHub issue #247.
* remove libpcap's own CVS keywordsDenis Ovsienko2014-01-031-2/+0
| | | | | | This change removes CVS keywords that express that the file belongs to libpcap repository. All such keywords represented the revision and timestamp by the end of 2008 or even older.
* fix a typo in man pagesDenis Ovsienko2014-01-021-1/+1

* Add a man page describing the pcap file format.guy2008-10-231-0/+87
Refer to it from the pcap_open_offline() and pcap_dump_open() man pages (so they are now generated). Update .cvsignore.
