I’m not quite sure what is meant by EXPORTED_PDU here.  Maybe you could share some Lua code and provide a little more 
detail and context?

qualifies me as one of the “lua_guys”.)

Hi,
I do not do LUA code but did you do Proto.new(name, 
desc)<https://wiki.wireshark.org/LuaAPI/Proto#Proto.new.28name.2C_desc.29> and then use that name to call the dissector?
@lua guys: Does that register the LUA dissector by name? or do you do it some other way?
Regards
Anders

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Mixing Exported_pdu with Lua

Hi devs,

Is it possible to register a Lua dissector so it is called by EXPORTED_PDU? I don't manage to "register" the Lua 
dissector properly.

My goal is to create a dissector in Lua that is called by EXPORTED_PDU and later calls another C dissector from 
Wireshark. Once I get this working and this protocol is stable enough, I may write a C file for it.

Any help would be appreciated!

Regards,
Juanjo Martin
