Functions
void	init_report_failure_message_simple (const char *friendly_program_name)
	Registers routines with the report_message mechanism.

Detailed Description

Routines to print various "standard" failure messages used in multiple places.

This is a "simple" version that does not link with libwiretap and interpret the WTAP_ERR_ or WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_ values that are parameters to the capture file routines (cfile_*). It is for use in dumpcap, which does not link with libwiretap or libui. The libwiretap-related routines should not be called from dumpcap, but a rudimentary implementation is provided since wsutil/report_message expects them.

Console programs that do link against libwiretap should include ui/failure_message.h instead.
