/** Get the header_field information based upon a field or protocol id.
 @param hfindex item # n (0-indexed)
 @return the registered item */
WS_DLL_PUBLIC header_field_info* proto_registrar_get_nth(guint hfindex);


btw. there is also a proto_registrar_get_length() function,
which do what you want (ftype_len(...)->type).

Cheers,
Jakub.
