Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] management of several protocols with the same dissector

["Gilbert Ramirez" <gram@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sure. packet-ip.c handles the IP and ICMP protocols.

For generating a dissector, you really need to understand what a
dissector looks like. Start with the doc/README.developer file. Then
you have to write a program to convert your input (XML) to the output
(a dissector C file).

FYI, these dissectors are generated from other sources in Ethereal:
    packet-ncp2222.c
    packet-dcerpc-atsvc.c
    packet-dcerpc-initshutdown.c
    packet-dcerpc-winreg.c
