Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] writing batch application using wireshark and its dissectors
Hi
Sorry, if it has been asked before, I could not find any info on making
an application that uses several dissectors provided by wireshark. In
other words I need to write an application that doe's analysis and
measures timing on a capture. I cannot use the plugin architecture
because I need to be able to do it offline and use it for regression
testing of network applications.
If anyone can point me to the right direction, I will be very grateful.
I can use libcap but then I will have to write all the dissectors
myself.
Looking at the docs, looks like the TAP interface may be useful, but I
do not know if it can be used by a external application.
Any help will be appreciated.
