Hello,
 
I am new to this list so if I ask something obvious please excuse!
 
Is there an faq for developers? If I want to look into adding a dissector how would go about it? Where do I start other than the obvious: copy a current dissector and modify it! :-)
Function names needed, hooks, requirements etc. for a new module would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
Metin.
