[#ChapterBuildIntro]
== Introduction
[#ChCodeOverview]
=== Source overview
Wireshark consists of the following major parts:
* Packet dissection - in the _/epan/dissectors_ and
_/plugins/epan/{asterisk}_ directories
* Capture file I/O - using Wireshark’s own wiretap library
* Capture - using the libpcap and Npcap libraries, in _dumpcap.c_ and
the _/capture_ directory
* User interface - using Qt and associated libraries
* Utilities - miscellaneous helper code
* Help - using an external web browser and text output
[#ChCodeStyle]
=== Coding Style
The coding style guides for Wireshark can be found in the “Portability”
section of the file _doc/README.developer_.
[#ChCodeGLib]
=== The GLib library
GLib is used as a basic platform abstraction library. It doesn't provide
any direct GUI functionality.
To quote the GLib Reference Manual:
____
GLib provides the core application building blocks for libraries and
applications written in C. It provides the core object system used in GNOME, the
main loop implementation, and a large set of utility functions for strings and
common data structures.
____
GLib contains lots of useful things for platform independent development.
See https://developer.gnome.org/glib/ and https://docs.gtk.org/glib/ for details about GLib.
