Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Has anyone created an XDR to Dissector tool?

Hi,

Having zero knowledge of the original code here’s some remarks anyway.

@@ -364,7 +370,7 @@ open_input (const char *infile, const char *define)

This must be a general thing then? infile vs. infilename.

You meant to say _(“-W\t\tgenerate



+/*      @(#)rpc_wireshark.c  1.0  16/09/01
+ *

You probably meant to say rpc_wireshark.c, Functions for the generation of a wireshark dissector in rpcgen




+" * GENERATED BY RPCGEN. DO NOT DO SERIOUS EDITS.\n"

You might want to add a line stating the Wireshark release (2.0, 2.2, or other) this code is generated for, since the used APIs / includes may depend on it and they may change in the future.


Thanks,
Jaap
