Hi
I have a question about the �tvb_composite�� functions.
I have an Ethernet message that comes in chunks. All of the payload is
in the Ethernet message, just divided to several chunks of data.
I have used �tvb_composite_append� function to collect all the chunks
into one tvb. And used the �tvb_composite_finalize� to finalize the tvb.
The problem is that the new tvb has no �real_data� inside. Therefore I
can�t use any �tvb_get..� functions.
I have also noticed that the (tvbuff_t*)new_tvb->used_in->data is the
end of the buffer and not the beginning. If it was the beginning I could
have used that. It doesn�t matter if I use prepend or append the result
is the same.
I have 3 chunks� meaning the usage count is = 4. The beginning of the
data is at (tvbuff_t*)new_tvb->used_in->next->next->data, why is that?
Is there a way to use the finialized new_tvb buffer as I would use any
subset_tvb ?

I've never heard of anyone successfully using composite TVBs so I'm
guessing the comment (from 2007) is still accurate.
