I need the ability to serialize/deserialize the dissection tree (epan_dissect_t) filled in by epan_dissect_run.

Is this functionality already available, or is this something that I will have to write myself?

If by "serialize ... to a file" you mean "write out as PDML", that functionality exists in Wireshark and TShark.

If you mean anything else, you will need to write it yourself - and if you need to be able to deserialize into a dissection tree, you will need to write that yourself.
