Re: adding an encap_type_info element

[Lange Jan-Erik <Jan-Erik.Lange () haw-hamburg de>]

I solved it using WTAP_ENCAP_USER0. ..I think a better solution was it if i could declare a really new "link type". But 
I think it is going well this way.

Betreff: [Wireshark-dev] adding an encap_type_info element

Hello,

I want to dissect a packet that is not ethernet compliant. In the following I decribe the strategy to realize this.
Can you tell me where I'm wrong?

1. I have to add a new encap_type_info element to the encap_table_base[] struct in the wtap.c file.
 /* WTAP_ENCAP_MYPHYLAYER */
 { "My Phy Layer", "myphylayer" },

2. In the wtap.h file I have to add a new #define element, ie.
#define WTAP_ENCAP_MYPHYLAYER                    129

3. Now I can add the dissecor:
dissector_add("myphylayer", WTAP_ENCAP_MYPHYLAYER, myprot_handle);

Is this correct in general or are there points missing?

Best regards
Jan
