//! Write [extcap](https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/extcap.html)
//! programs in Rust.
//!
//! The extcap interface is a versatile plugin interface used by Wireshark to
//! allow external binaries to act as capture interfaces. The extcap interface
//! itself is generic and can be used by applications other than Wireshark, like
//! Wireshark's command line sibling `tshark`. For the sake of brevity, in the
//! documentation we will refer to the host application simply as Wireshark.
//!
//! ### Extcap overview
//!
//! 1. `--extcap-interfaces`: In this step, Wireshark asks the extcap for its
//!    list of supported interfaces, version metadata, and the list of toolbar
//!    controls.
//! 2. `--extcap-dlts`: Invoked once for each interface, Wireshark asks the
//!    extcap program for the data link type associated with the interface.
//! 3. `--extcap-config`: Invoked for each interface upon user request,
//!    Wireshark asks the extcap program for a list of configurations to
//!    populate a config dialog in the UI.
//! 4. `--capture`: The main part of the extcap program – invoked once when the
//!    user selects an interface for capture, to tell the extcap to start
//!    capturing packets. Captured packets should be written to the `--fifo` in
//!    the PCAP format.
//!
//! ## Getting started
//!
//! To create an extcap using this library, these are the high level steps:
//!
//! 1. Create a struct with `#[derive(clap::Parser)]`, and add [`ExtcapArgs`] as
//!    one of the fields with the `#[command(flatten)]` attribute.
//!
//!    ```
//!    #[derive(Debug, clap::Parser)]
//!    struct AppArgs {
//!        #[command(flatten)]
//!        extcap: r_extcap::ExtcapArgs,
//!
//!        // Other args for extcap (see the `configs` module)
//!    }
//!    ```
//!
//! 2. Create a struct that implements [`ExtcapApplication`]. It is recommended
//!    to define the application in a `lazy_static`. There 4 things need to be
//!    provided for an extcap implementation:
//!
//!     1. [`metadata`][ExtcapApplication::metadata]: The version information
//!            and metadata for this program, used by Wireshark to display in
//!            the UI.
//!     2. [`interfaces`][ExtcapApplication::interfaces]: The list of interfaces
//!            that can be captured by this program.
//!     3. [`toolbar_controls`][ExtcapApplication::toolbar_controls]: Optional,
//!            a list of toolbar controls shown in the Wireshark UI.
//!     4. [`configs`][ExtcapApplication::configs]: Optional, a list of UI
//!            configuration options that the user can change.
//!
//! 3. In the `main` function, parse the arguments and call [`ExtcapArgs::run`].
//!    Use the returned [`CaptureContext`] to start capturing packets, and write
//!    the packets to [`CaptureContext::fifo`] using the
//!    [`pcap_file`](https://docs.rs/pcap-file/latest/pcap_file/index.html)
//!    crate.
//!
//!    ```ignore
//!    fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
//!        if let Some(capture_context) = AppArgs::parse().extcap.run(&*APPLICATION)? {
//!            // Run capture
//!        }
//!        Ok(())
//!    }
//!    ```
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```no_run
//! # use lazy_static::lazy_static;
//! use clap::Parser;
//! use r_extcap::{ExtcapApplication, ExtcapArgs};
//! use r_extcap::{interface::*, controls::*, config::*};
//!
//! struct ExampleExtcapApplication {}
//! impl ExtcapApplication for ExampleExtcapApplication {
//!       fn metadata(&self) -> &Metadata { todo!() }
//!       fn interfaces(&self) -> &[Interface] { todo!() }
//!       fn toolbar_controls(&self) -> Vec<&dyn ToolbarControl> { todo!() }
//!       fn configs(&self, interface: &Interface) -> Vec<&dyn ConfigTrait> { todo!() }
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(Debug, Parser)]
//! struct AppArgs {
//!     #[command(flatten)]
//!     extcap: ExtcapArgs,
//! }
//!
//! lazy_static! {
//!     static ref APPLICATION: ExampleExtcapApplication = ExampleExtcapApplication {
//!         // ...
//!     };
//! }
//!
//! fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
//!     if let Some(capture_context) = AppArgs::parse().extcap.run(&*APPLICATION)? {
//!         // Run capture
//!     }
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
