Passing data from Plugin dissector to a standard wireshark dissector (i.e. TCP)

[hammad kabir <hammadsatti () gmail com>]

Hi all,

I have recently implemented a wireshark dissector of a relatively simple
protocol (lets call the protocol as COOL) for a project of mine. This
dissector gets the data from IP layer and then parses it according to
protocol definition of COOL protocol. (so far its good). But, next step
involves passing the data from COOL protocol ( which is a plugin dissector
in my case) to TCP protocol for further dissection of packet. However, I am
having a difficult time in getting this (later) task done. I am using
Ubuntu as platform for dissector's development. Can anyone here knows what
I might be missing, or what needs to be done, or a proper guideline to get
this task done. I shall be grateful to you.

I have used this link for development
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChDissectAdd.html and also
have been through "ReadMe.plugin" file.

Regards,
Hammad Kabir
