We make no guarantee that this will do what the developer of the dissector, or the user, wants - in particular, we make no guarantee which dissector will win.
Ok, gathered as such.
So my question is, can I influence the decision made by wireshark in any way, which plugin get's called?Try disabling the dissector for the protocol whose dissector you don't want called.
Sadly, this is not an option. The Sercos III plugin does not return the number of bytes dissected though. Currently I am trying to figure out, if a patch to the protocol might solve my issue. The funny thing is, that this only seems to address plugins. If you are racing against a dissector part of the original distribution of wireshark (libwireshark), this behavious does not seem to occur, which leads me to guessing it has something to do with the way, Windows and Linux handle the loading of dynamic libraries. regards, Roland ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
