Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] [PATCH] crude text-based proto. hier. stats in ethereal
(Mailing list arhive reader - see the thread cited below for more info)
New files and a patch to the existing ones attached.
(On Windows you'd need the same change as to Makefile.am to be applied
to Makefile.nmake)
Functionality: when Tools->Protocol Hierarchy Stats
is selected, a text version of the stats formatted for easy postprocessing
is printed on the stdout.
The functionality was originally intended to work inside tethereal,
but, as cfile.plist is not filled in there, it only can be invoked in this
crude way now.
Hence the patch file name.
