//! 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(())
//! }
//! ```
