It would also have to make sure, before looking at any data, that the data is, in fact, present and not, for example, cut off by a snapshot length in effect when the capture was done. (If the data isn't present, it should return FALSE, as that would mean that some or all of the trailer was cut off by that snapshot length.) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev@wireshark.org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
