Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on implementing a tap interface for the aim_messaging dissector and have some questions. Do you think I'd be better off tapping the main aim protocol? Right now I have it tapping packets to the queue twice, at the end of dissect_aim_msg_outgoing and dissect_aim_msg_incoming, in packet-aim_messaging.c. Is this the right way to go about this? Is "tap_queue_packet(aim_messaging_tap, pinfo, NULL);" the correct syntax? What is contained in pinfo? Should I make a struct of the data I want sent to the tap and replace the NULL with that? I've been following the README.tapping file and the tap-rcpstat.c and am mildly confused. Thanks for all your assistance.
