Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] How to pass file info along with a packet

I’d like to pass some information about a file along with a packet.  I am currently using a pseudo header to do so.  This works ok during the sequential read through the file, but doesn’t with seek and read.  I saw something about private data, but it wasn’t clear on how to implement this.  What’s the best way to do this, and are there any related articles out there?

 

Thanks.
