Looking at the code below.....I was wondering why wireshark exits if the 
netalive port file is not available...??

Basically....if the netalive ports file is there...then I want to 
dissect netalive packets. But if the netalive ports file is NOT 
there...then I want to continue to dissect other packets.

But .....what I am finding out is that if the net alive ports file is 
NOT there....wireshark automatically shuts down. It doesn't even start 
up correctly.

What am I missing here.....??

I am basically registering 2-3 protocols in 1 file. One protocol is my 
companies basic protocol that is open to the public. But the other 
"netalive" protocol is not open to the public
so those that have netalive access will be able to dissect them.


void proto_reg_handoff_netalive(void) {
   static gboolean isinitialized = FALSE;
   gboolean isnetalivefilehere = TRUE;
   int netaliveportnumber;

   FILE *fpnetalive;

#if defined(_WIN32)
   fpnetalive = fopen("netaliveport.txt", "r");
#else
   fpnetalive = fopen("netaliveport", "r");
#endif

   if (fpnetalive == NULL) {
       isnetalivefilehere = FALSE;
   }

//if netalive ports file is there....then go into this loop.
//if it is not there then just continue using wireshark
  if(isnetalivefilehere)
  {
   while (fscanf(fpnetalive, "%d\n", &netaliveportnumber) != EOF) {

       printf("Net Alive Port number = %d\n", netaliveportnumber);

       if (!isinitialized) {
           netalivedata_handle = find_dissector("data");
           netalive_handle = create_dissector_handle(dissect_netalive, 
proto_netalive);
       printf("I am here 1\n");
           //This line read the port number from the file.
           dissector_add("udp.port", netaliveportnumber, netalive_handle);
       }

   }
  }

   fclose(fpnetalive);

}

Thanks,
Brian
