Annotation(comments) of captures and interfaces (pcapng).

[Anders Broman <anders.broman () ericsson com>]

Hi,
Spending some time on the basics for this I have a couple of questions on how to proceed.

Live captures:
- To annotate a capture when we start it we would have to fill in pcapngs Section Header Blocks (SHB) option comment. 
This has to be done trough dumpcap -right?
  In order to do that a new argument is needed Use -C "This capture was made to prove that annotating captures work"?
  Where to put the GUI stuff for it?

- It cold be nice to have a permanent comment attached to an interface, fits in the Interface Description Blocks(IDB) 
comment field, does this also require an option to dumpcap?
 For example: "Captures of the mirror interface of XXX".
 At least for windows it should be possible to add if_speed to the IDB as well.

Any one interested in doing parts of this?
Regards
Anders
