Machine-readable dissector errors

["Thierry Emmanuel" <Emmanuel.Thierry () technicolor com>]

Hello,

 

I'm developing a probe designed to monitor bad and malformed packets on
a network, so I plan to use epan as an independant library, without
wireshark or tshark interface.

Here is the question : Is there a way to retrieve errors generated by
dissectors under a more machine-readable representation ? I have seen
this is possible for ip checksum thanks to the ip.checksum_good and
ip.checksum_bad epan dissect tree elements, but what about other errors
?

 

Am I forced to parse each epan dissect tree element to seek for
dissector generated errors ?

 

Best regards.

 

Emmanuel Thierry
