Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] How to pass file info along with a packet

["Peter Moore" <pmoore@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am setting the information for both read and seek-and-read.  Hmmm, now
that I'm looking at it though, I'm setting it in the wth pointer, and
not in pseudo_header.  That must be it.

Yeah, definitely a dev topic.  Didn't realize there was a dev mailing
list.  I'll use that next time.

Thanks for the assist!

It does if you return the pseudo-header in the seek-and-read routine, 
which you're supposed to do; the seek_read routines in Wireshark take a 
"union wtap_pseudo_header *" as one of the arguments.

This is, by the way, more of a wireshark-dev topic than a 
wireshark-users topic.
