Revision history  [back]

The manuf file in the text format is no longer included with Wireshark. A problem was that parsing the text format into memory was a significant contributor to the startup time of Wireshark and tshark, so our tools now generate C arrays, which greatly improves startup time.

The original text file can be generated by running tshark -G manuf, and versions are produced automatically daily for download here. If your script needs the file, please either generate it with tshark or download that file and use it.

See some discussion in this GitLab issue.
