Hi,
Oke, here it goes: RTFM's at www.wireshark.org
Yes, I've already spent quite a while going over the user and
developer documentation. I've also already downloaded and sniffed
around the source. End result: little detailed enlightenment.
Bit more to the point: What platform are you developing on? Wild guess
Win32?
Well, I'm an OS X man by choice, but Wireshark is so much better
integrated into Windows that I use it there.
Then look into the Wireshark Developer Guide, which has the step by
step guide of setting up the build environment. With all that in place
check out doc/README.developer which contains lots of details on the
internals.
Ah: that's the info I was looking for. Suggestion: add a pointer to
the wireshark/doc directory to the very top of the developer's guide;
less-experienced open-source developers (like myself) might not know
to look there.
After a lot of grepping, I found the text-based media dissection code
at epan/dissectors/packet-text-media.c. I'll start my work there.
Thanks,
Dan
