I apologize if this is too trivial, but I couldn't see any answers in the
docs or a quick review of the archives. I am using ethereal 0.9.5 on win32
with visual c++ 6.
I have created two dissectors for some TCP/IP-based protocols that we use.
The first protocol includes the ability to carry other protocols, based on a
Protocol Identifier. I am trying to convert these dissectors to plugins, and
have found that not all the routines I use are supported.
My code includes the following in my proto_reg_handoff routine for the main
protocol:
dissector_add("tcp.port", global_eps_tcp_port, eps_handle);
sub_dissector = register_dissector_table(
"eps.presentation.protocol", "EMIT Protocol Stack", FT_UINT8, 0 );
And the following in the proto_reg_handoff routine for the sub-protocol:
dissector_add("eps.presentation.protocol", global_oap_eps_protocol,
oap_handle);
This worked perfectly when compiled directly into ethereal, but the
"register_dissector_table" is not included in the plugin-api.
Is there a reason for its absence? Is there a better way of hooking the
protocols together? I desire each of my protocols to be a plugin.
Thanks for any ideas, including "You're stupid - do it this way...".
