Hi,
I've written a small program that converts web logs into pcap-ng files with a
dummy Ethernet header. I'm now writing a dissector for the resulting pcap-ng
file. The problem is that the number and meaning of the "columns" in the log
is not predictable - it depends on the web log format settings. Therefore the
first entry in the pcap-ng file contains the name of the field, a definition of
the data type and the column position. In the dissector, I read this first
record and then set up an hf_register_info array. That's the background, now
my question.
Can I make calls to proto_register_xxx functions in my dissector, or must they
be made from proto_register_xxxx?
Thanks and regards...Paul
