Hi Pascal, thanks for your answer. I don’t get exactly the meaning of this routine functionality, but I think it is not what I’m searching for.
For my dissector I need a special bit or value as a trigger, which says, that e.g. the capture has stopped or starts new. E.g.: capture isn’t running (stopped) --> bit == FALSE Does it exist?

Is there a possibility to know (special bit for example), whether the user stopped, started the capture or opened Wireshark new? That would be a great help for my dissector. Not sure this is exactly your request, but you can register callbacks when a capture is started / loaded / reloaded (when a preference changes for example) and when it is closed with the following functions: /** * Allow protocols to register "init" routines, which are called before * we make a pass through a capture file and dissect all its packets * (e.g., when we read in a new capture file, or run a "filter packets" * or "colorize packets" pass over the current capture file or when the * preferences are changed). */ WS_DLL_PUBLIC void register_init_routine(void (*func)(void)); /** * Allows protocols to register "cleanup" routines which are called * after closing a capture file (or when preferences are changed, in * that case these routines are called before the init routines are * executed). It can be used to release resources that are allocated in * register_init_routine. */ WS_DLL_PUBLIC void register_cleanup_routine(void (*func)(void)); Hope it helps, Pascal.
