Hi,
You might as well use the pinfo struct for that.
Thanx,

Hello,
 
I’m adding a feature to a dissector I created that compares the System 
PCAP timestamp with the Dissected Message Timestamp. The goal is to 
compare the two timestamps and see if they are off by a certain amount 
of time. I located the PCAP Timestamp within the dissect_frame function 
in the packet-frame.c file. This is located in the 
wireshark/epan/dissectors directory. The Message Timestamp is located in 
wireshark/plugins/dar. I included the appropriate header files in both 
the packet-frame.c and my plugin c file. I set a variable in both c 
files to store the value of the times. However, I have been unable to 
get the variables to be set at the right time. I need the PCAP Timestamp 
value to be passed to my plugin c file for use in my comparison. Does 
anyone have any suggestions on how I may do this?
