Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Problem writing a file dissector for vwr capture files
From: Joerg Mayer <jmayer@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2015 10:22:50 +0200
Hello, I'm trying to write a file dissector for the IxVeriWave (.vwr) capture files (without loosing the ability to open said capture files normally of course) and am failing: Running "tshark -X 'read_format:MIME Files Format' -V -r testfile.vwr" (or the equivalent steps in wireshark) results in tshark: The file "testfile.vwr" isn't a capture file in a format TShark understands. Trying to just take over the complete capture file was also unsuccessful. I've attached the current source of the dissector. Simple question: What am I missing ;-) In case you want to test, use the capture attached to bug 11464. Thanks Jörg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer@xxxxxxxxx> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
