sorry, my question wasn't clear enough.
i need a m3ua decoder as a stand-alone program/function. I've seen
packet-m3ua.c but it calls some header files that are specific to ethereal
and therefore useless for my project, unless some modification is made.

so i'm asking you if you are aware of any open source stand-alone m3ua
decoder ?

tnx

What do you mean?

Ethereal currently decodes M3UA messages (including, AFAIK, all the
parameters).  If the payload is ISUP or SCCP Ethereal then decodes the
M3UA payload as either one of those protocols.  For SCCP it will then
(if the SSN is in the range [5-12]) decode the TCAP portion of the
message and then possibly MAP.

If you're looking for an M3UA + SS7 protocol analyzer, Ethereal does a
lot of that already (suggestions for improvements--or patches--are
always welcome).  If you're looking for a decoder library to use in an
M3UA implementation, however, Ethereal will _not_ do that.
