Hi Sebastien,

I will be taking the data and sending it to a dll that i am using as a proxy. 
the proxy will send the data to a lib that will create a msg type object to be 
sent back to the proxy dll, then it will be decoded by another lib that has 
functions to return parts of the message. the msg type object takes a const 
BYTE* as a parameter along with the size of the buffer. so i guess i want 
target to be a const BYTE* then eh? is that a type thats possible for this? and 
also, how would i go about freeing the memory? or if its possible to send just 
part of the tvbuff then i could use that as a parameter, though i dont know a 
function to do that. 

thanks for the help,
Greg

Hi,

   target is what *you* want it to be. tvb_memcpy is a convenient way to copy a 
part of the tvbuff in a part of the memory *you* control. iow, you have 
*allocated* this part of memory and *you* are responsible to *free* this memory.

   Can I ask you where is this "elsewhere" and what is its purpose? Could you 
not simply use the tvbuff as-is instead? Could you explain us the reasons for 
which you would like to use tvb_memcpy?


Regards,
Sebastien Tandel

I am using tvb_memcpy(tvb, void* target, offset, data_length); to grab a single 
part of the tvbuff to send elsewhere for decoding. However, what is target? i 
think its memory, but how do i free memory? i'm confused about how to use 
tvb_memcpy for this.

Thanks,

Greg
