You could first call str_to_ip() and if it fails, call str_to_ip6(), and if that too fails then assume it's a FQDN. The str_to_ip() and str_to_ip6() functions are just wrappers for inet_pton(); they are declared in epan/addr_resolv.h. - Chris -----Original Message----- From: wireshark-dev-bounces () wireshark org [mailto:wireshark-dev-bounces () wireshark org] On Behalf Of Jo Sent: Mon, November 09, 2015 4:14 AM To: wireshark-dev () wireshark org Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Determine address type of string Hello, I am writing a custom dissector as a plugin. There I need to determine the address type of a string in a TLV. It can be either an IPv4 address, IPv6 address or a FQDN. What is the best way to parse this string into the Wireshark data types? My idea was to check which delimieters occur ("." -> IPv4, ":" -> IPv6) iand if there dots, to check whether the parts between the dots are numerical.
