In LUA I am making a dissector, I have a TvbRange 'buf', when I call buf:int()
I can't concatenate it ("string"..buf:int().."string") it claims that this
function returns userdata while it should return an integer, when I use the
function uint it properly returns an unsigned integer, but I need a signed
integer ;)
And just in general as a help to all who programs in Lua with Wireshark: More
documentation, for example on your API reference there is no full list of
columns for the pinfo.cols; or nowhere a function to get the text of a label in
a tree item, this means there is none (?) or it's skipped in the documentation?
Also pretty important: you return _userdata_ ... This is very annoying when you
don't have the proper documentation since there is no way to retrieve what
values there are in the userdata, couldn't you just push arrays to the Lua
environment and use metatables? Lua itself has very poor or even no
documentation on how to properly use userdata.
Many thanks and I hope to see those bottlenecks stretched very soon ;)
