c74afc3 by Guy Harris (guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx):

    Distinguish between "events" and "reports".
    
    Have two different classes of file-type-specific records - "events" and
    "reports".  An "event" indicates something that happened in the capture
    process, such as a status transition on the network; a "report" just
    gives information not corresponding to something happening in the
    capture process, such as capture statistics.
    
    Note that both of those should be dissected and displayed like packets,
    and leave open the possibility of file-type-specific records whose
    contents should be processed and saved but not displayed in the packet
    list.
    
    Shorten "file_type_specific" to "ft_specific".
