The best would be 
proto_tree_add_item(seg_param_tree, hf_scsi_reserved, tvb, offset, 2, 
ENC_BIG_ENDIAN)   (obviously may need adjusting for your specfic situation)
offset += 2

so it's filterable (and users can possibly find situtions where reserved fields 
aren't 0)

Different hf_ filters variables may need to be created if size/bitmasks are 
different between the reserved fields, but they can all have the same filter 
name if you want (ie "scsi.reserved").

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] To display reserved fields or not display reserved 
fields, that is the question...


Should I:


proto_tree_add_text(seg_param_tree, tvb, offset, 2, "reserved");

offset += 2;


or:
offset += 2; /* reserved */



What is better? (Regretully I'm working on SCSI, whose creators LOVED 
sprinkling reserved bytes everywhere!).




Do we have a standard? (perhaps worth having a global param for it?!).
