Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Simple Tap interface for dissector information

["Martin M." <SuperMotzi@xxxxxx>]

Hi everybody,

I just finished my protocol-dissector. But i got a big problem with the stastical information i want to get.

I decided to use the tap interface to get some interesting data. First of all some questions about the tap:

1. Where will the tap-Information be displayed ? I have no idea in which form it comes to the gui.

2. I just used the Developer Guide. So the questions are about the different parts of the tutorial:

a. "Initialising of the tap":
-----------------------------
Where do I have to put the struct "myprotocolTap"-Part in ? In the packet-myprotocol.h - Header file. right or somewhere else?

b. "Calling the protocol tap":
------------------------------
Did I have to use other variables then 'pinfo' ? Because my dissector gives me a weird error:

packet-ossdissector.c: In function ‘dissect_ossdissector’:
packet-ossdissector.c:422: error: ‘pinfo’ redeclared as different kind of symbol
packet-ossdissector.c:417: error: previous definition of ‘pinfo’ was here
packet-ossdissector.c:422: error: storage size of ‘pinfo’ isn’t known
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
packet-ossdissector.c:422: error: unused variable ‘pinfo’
make: *** [packet-ossdissector.lo] Error 1


So first i just want to realize the Tap Initailising.


Thank you for any answer.

Bye,
