Hi,

I would thought the following code will give me the same result:

header = tvb_get_guint8(tvb, offset);

vs.

tvbuff_t *stp_tvbuff = tvb_new_composite();
tvb_composite_append(stp_tvbuff, tvb);
tvb_composite_finalize(stp_tvbuff);
header = tvb_get_guint8(stp_tvbuff, offset);

But it did not. I am writing for an application protocol that has
fragmentation on top of TCP. So I would like to use tvb_composite_* to
queue up all the tvbuffs before actually dissecting.

I found little documentation and code examples so far, any help will be greatly
appreciated. Please also let me know if there are better ways to
approach this.

Thanks for any help in advance. (Please CC me)

Regards,

Shao.
