Re: query regarding field registration of unicode string

[ajay seshadri <sesh_ajay () yahoo com>]

Hi,

Can you please tell me the arguments of the g_free() function, to be used along 
with tvb_fake_unicode()? I couldn't find it in the developer document. Also, is 
it supposed to be called at the end of the dissector?

Thanks,
Ajay

Hi,
There's no direct support for Unicode strings in Wireshark.
What's been done, by the SMB dissector for instance, is that the Unicode string 
is extracted from the TVB and then converted to an ASCII string before being 
added to the protocol tree using proto_tree_add_string().
The TVB module provides you with some helper functions: tvb_*fake_unicode().
Thanks,
Jaap
