The best way in my opinion will be to pass such infromation through the pseudo_header defined for your format.

Will this be an entire trace file specific property or one that varies for each packet in the file?

Thanks,
Ravi.

hi
I have written a new capture format(dec-trace) which reads from saved file & corresponding dissector.
 
Since dec-trace can be in either of big/little format. so i want to pass this global variable from wiretap (where it will read endian type)  to epan/dissector (where value of this variable will be read by dissector & based on that decoding will take place).
 
It was workign on linux platform very well,
but as i building the same on Windows platform using msvc it is showing linking problem. unresolved reference.
 
/******************** I m not sure but this could be the reason ***********/
When i tried to go in deep it could be b'cos of dissector.lib. since linker tries to resolves it within dissector.lib.
/**************************************************************************************/
 
what could be the way access global variable defined in wiretap ?
