Peudo_header means we are passign information for every packet whereas say for example we just want to pass whether packet are in big/little format or some specific information which is applicable to whole trace (all the packets). passing infomation in Pseudo_header is not gud option in such type of cases. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ravi Kondamuru To: Ethereal development Sent: 2006 May 25 4:08 AM Subject: Re: [Ethereal-dev] how to access a global variable defined inwiretap(new format) from epan/dissector The best way in my opinion will be to pass such infromation through the pseudo_header defined for your format. Will this be an entire trace file specific property or one that varies for each packet in the file? Thanks, Ravi.

Since dec-trace can be in either of big/little format. so i want to pass this global variable from wiretap (where it will read endian type) to epan/dissector (where value of this variable will be read by dissector & based on that decoding will take place). It was workign on linux platform very well, but as i building the same on Windows platform using msvc it is showing linking problem. unresolved reference. /******************** I m not sure but this could be the reason ***********/ When i tried to go in deep it could be b'cos of dissector.lib. since linker tries to resolves it within dissector.lib. /**************************************************************************************/ what could be the way access global variable defined in wiretap ? regards, Raman Ext - 1667 _______________________________________________ Ethereal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.ethereal.com/mailman/listinfo/ethereal-dev ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Ethereal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.ethereal.com/mailman/listinfo/ethereal-dev _______________________________________________ Ethereal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.ethereal.com/mailman/listinfo/ethereal-dev
