Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] How can I use preferences from other dissectors?

[Alex Lindberg <alindber@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes - My plug-in uses a common TCP port, h248, for a custom protocol my company uses.  I have built a heuristic dissector that using this port, however the h248 dissector allows for this port to be changed via the preferences and I would like my dissector to use this reconfigured port without having to create my own preferences.

Thanks.

Are you trying to always match the configured port for another 
dissector, even if it is changed at run-time?
