Bug ID: 16061
Summary: doc/README.dissector: proto_tree_add_bitmask_len()
prototype is outdated
Product: Wireshark
Version: Git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Trivial
Priority: Low
Component: Documentation
Assignee: bugzilla-ad...@wireshark.org
Reporter: dev...@davisinstruments.com
Target Milestone: ---
Build Information:
N/A

doc/README.dissector presents a function signature for
proto_tree_add_bitmask_len() that is out of date.
It currently reads:
proto_item *
proto_tree_add_bitmask_len(tree, tvb, start, len, header, ett, fields,
encoding);
In actuality, proto_tree_add_bitmask_len() also expects an expert information
field to display in the case where the decodable length is less than the actual
length of the field, as documented in epan/proto.h
@param exp expert info field used when decodable_len < len. This also means
this function
should be called even when tree == NULL
It's not a terrible inconvenience that the function signature in
README.dissector is out of date, but it was confusing that the closest thing to
official API documentation conflicted with the source.
