You might want to take a look at proto_tree_add_bitmask().  See
doc/README.developer, which describes it and illustrates its use by taking an
example from the SCSI dissector.

Where can I get a sample capture file to see how this will look like?

The easiest thing might be to look at epan/dissectors/packet-tcp.c for the code and pretty much any capture file with TCP.  In the code, look for hf_tcp_flags and in a capture file, just look at the TCP flags.  Also, looking at doc/README.developer is highly recommended.  It's how I learned.


I did so before asking:

$ grep -l "proto_tree_add_bitmask" *.c
packet-dcerpc-netlogon.c
packet-dlm3.c
packet-fcels.c
packet-fip.c
packet-giop.c

Looks like TCP does _not_ use this function. That's why I asked for a sample capture file of one of the protocols above.

This is the actual packet-tcp.c code:

  tf = proto_tree_add_uint_format(tcp_tree, hf_tcp_flags, tvb,
           offset + 13, 1, tcph->th_flags,
           "Flags: 0x%02x (%s)", tcph->th_flags, flags_strbuf->str);
  field_tree = proto_item_add_subtree(tf, ett_tcp_flags);
  proto_tree_add_boolean(field_tree, hf_tcp_flags_cwr, tvb,
                         offset + 13, 1, tcph->th_flags);
  proto_tree_add_boolean(field_tree, hf_tcp_flags_ecn, tvb,
                         offset + 13, 1, tcph->th_flags);
  proto_tree_add_boolean(field_tree, hf_tcp_flags_urg, tvb,
                         offset + 13, 1, tcph->th_flags);
  proto_tree_add_boolean(field_tree, hf_tcp_flags_ack, tvb,
                         offset + 13, 1, tcph->th_flags);
  proto_tree_add_boolean(field_tree, hf_tcp_flags_push, tvb,
                         offset + 13, 1, tcph->th_flags);

Ehm, no.
