Before this, 26 tools hardcoded the literal "gopacket vX.Y.Z-beta -
Copyright 2026 Google LLC" banner in print statements, totaling 34
occurrences across the tree. Every version bump meant updating the
same string 34 times.
Switches every tool to call flags.Banner(), which builds the banner
from flags.Version. The Version const in pkg/flags/flags.go is now
the single source of truth; future version bumps are a one-line
change.
Mechanical split:
- 3 common print patterns (fmt.Println, fmt.Fprintln os.Stderr,
fmt.Fprintf with trailing \n\n) swept with sed.
- 6 heredoc-style flag.Usage functions had the banner line on a
backtick-quoted format string. Each was split into a separate
fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, flags.Banner()) followed by the existing
Fprintf with the banner line trimmed off the format string.
- 9 tools needed a new pkg/flags import added.
- tools/describeTicket already imports github.com/jcmturner/gokrb5
/v8/iana/flags for Kerberos flag constants, so pkg/flags is aliased
as gopflags there to avoid the name collision.
Verified: go build, go vet, and go test ./pkg/transport/ all clean
under default, CGO_ENABLED=0, and GOOS=windows CGO_ENABLED=0. Spot-
checked -h output on samrdump, rpcmap, mssqlinstance, ping, and
describeTicket; each renders the banner identically to before.
Enables clean builds under GOOS=windows CGO_ENABLED=0 and under
CGO_ENABLED=0 on Linux. The three tools that can't be built in those
configurations now substitute a stub that prints a clear message
and exits 1, so go build ./... succeeds across all target platforms.
- tools/sniff: tagged !windows && cgo (needs libpcap via cgo).
Stub (main_stub.go) covers windows || !cgo.
- tools/split: same tags as sniff (also pcap).
- tools/sniffer: tagged !windows (uses Unix raw sockets directly via
syscall, not cgo). Stub (main_windows.go) covers Windows.
Verified:
- go build ./... clean (default, cgo=1 Linux)
- CGO_ENABLED=0 go build ./... clean (portable Linux)
- GOOS=windows CGO_ENABLED=0 go build ./... clean (Windows)
- go vet clean across all three configurations
- All 13 pkg/transport tests pass under CGO_ENABLED=0, confirming
direct_portable.go's directDial path is correct.
Bumps the version string across pkg/flags and all tool banners to
v0.1.1-beta. Marks the first feature release after the initial beta
(adds the -proxy socks flag and UDP-under-proxy guard landing in
this PR).
Note: the version string is currently duplicated 34 times across 27
tool binaries and flags.go. A follow-up PR should refactor every
tool to call flags.Banner() instead of hardcoding the literal, so
future bumps are one-line changes.
