Team, I am a newbie to the wireshark development.
The code snippets for the registering a handoff for a protocol say XXX I see the following lines void proto_reg_handoff_XXX(void) { find_dissector("data"); find_dissector("ip"); eth_handle = find_dissector("eth"); /* I don't see the eth _handle used anywhere here */ } Why is the find_dissectors called witout using the hadles further in the code. This is similar code in may hand-off reg functions. Am I Missing some thing obvious or is there a catch in way find_dissectors work ? Regards, Nanda. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 25, 2007 10:10 AM To: Muthuraj, Nandakumar LTINFO (CAR:0000) Subject: Welcome to the "Wireshark-dev" mailing list Welcome to the Wireshark-dev@wireshark.org mailing list!
