Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Building a protocol tree

[Paul Offord <Paul.Offord@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I need some advice building a protocol tree.  I’m trying to build a tree like this:

 

• trb  - protocol
  • Label of “TRB Header”
  • trb.version – uint16
  • trb.format – uint16
  • trb.scheme_index – uint16
  • trb.httpd – Boolean type but also introducing a subtree
    • trb.httpd.host – string
    • trb.httpd.identd – string
    • etc.

 

I’m happy with creating the hf_register_info array, the problem I am having is with the various proto_tree_xxx calls.  I currently have this:

 

    ti = proto_tree_add_item(tree, proto_trb, tvb, 0, -1, ENC_NA);

    trb_tree = proto_item_add_subtree(ti, ett_trb);

    tr_header_tree = proto_tree_add_subtree(trb_tree, tvb, tvb_offset, 16, ett_trb_header, NULL, "TRB Header");

 

    /* Add the Version to the tree */

    proto_tree_add_item(tr_header_tree, hf_id[0], tvb, tvb_offset, 2, ENC_LITTLE_ENDIAN);

    tvb_offset += 2;

 

    /* Add the Format to the tree */

    proto_tree_add_item(tr_header_tree, hf_id[1], tvb, tvb_offset, 2, ENC_LITTLE_ENDIAN);

    tvb_offset += 2;

 

    /* Add the Scheme Index to the tree */

    scheme_index = tvb_get_letohs(tvb, tvb_offset);

    proto_tree_add_item(tr_header_tree, hf_id[2], tvb, tvb_offset, 4, ENC_LITTLE_ENDIAN);

    tvb_offset += 2;

 

    tvb_offset += 2; /* Skip the Reserved field */

    tvb_offset += 8; /* Skip the Timestamp */

 

    // ToDo: before processing dsv data we need to add an item for the log data constructed from the protocol name

    // and the name space e.g. trb.httpd the subtree label should be name_space Log Data e.g. httpd Log Data

    trb_log_data = proto_tree_add_boolean(trb_tree, hf_id[3], tvb, 0, 0, 1);

 

 

I’m not sure what I need to do at the end of this block of code to successfully define my trb.httpd subtree.  The hf info for the last field is effectively:

 

    { p_id,

    { “httpd Log Data”, “trb.httpd”,

    FT_BOOLEAN, BASE_NONE, NULL, 0x0,

    "TRUE if TRB in the defined name space", HFILL } }

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks and regards…Paul
