How can I display bit fields in the same byte in wireshark? Is it right to
add item with same offset and register header with bitmasking? If yes, which
ft type should I use in example below?  FT_UINT8??
For example, in first byte:
7   6   5   4   3   2   1  0
Value A: most 2 significant bits (bit 8, 7)
Value B: next 3 bits
Value C: the rest

Take a look at the sample dissector code in doc/README.developer between
the "Cut here" lines and section 1.6.

Use FT_BYTES in the registration above.

I think he meant tvb_length() instead of tvb_get_length().

The function tvb_length(tvb) returns the size of the entire tvb.
tvb_length_remaining(tvb, offset) will return the length remaining
starting at the offset.
