Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Dissect using val_to_str from external file

[Jo <wireshark@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Bill,

thank you for your quick answer.

I am developing a plugin. Am I on my windows development machine
limited to the Wireshark API exposed to plugins (aka
libwireshark.def)?

Can I somewhere request that ipproto_val_ext is exported for plugins?

Bye,
Jo
