Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] [Patch] epan/make-sminmpec.pl

[Andrew Feren <acferen@xxxxxxxxx>]

This adds some features to update enterprise-numbers from the web.  After I
submitted a large update for epan/enterprise-numbers yesterday I got to
thinking that there ought to be a way to automate keeping the file up to
date.

As used in the Makefile currently 
  make-sminmpec.pl <infile> <outfile.c>

works exactly the same.  Additionally <infile> can be a URL to an infile in
the expected format.

example :
make-sminmpec.pl http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers
sminmpec.c

Using the new "-gen" switch will create a new <infile>

example:
make-sminmpec.pl -gen \
    http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers \
    enterprise-numbers

if you use a local file for infile the -gen switch is the moral equivalent of
just copying the file.  (maybe -cp would be a better switch name)

I didn't update any Makefiles since I think in general people don't need/want
to update off the web for every build.  Perhaps using this to update
enterprise-numbers could be run with make-manuf.   (Is manuf run
periodically?  If so when?  Just curious.)
