col_clear_fence()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC void col_clear_fence	(	column_info *	cinfo,
		const int	col
	)

Clears a fence for the current column content

This can be useful if a protocol wants to remove whatever a previous protocol has added to the column.

Parameters

cinfo	the current packet row
col	the column to use, e.g. COL_INFO

col_get_text()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC const char * col_get_text	(	column_info *	cinfo,
		const int	col
	)

Gets the text of a column element.

Parameters

cinfo	the current packet row
col	the column to use, e.g. COL_INFO

Returns

the text string

col_get_writable()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC bool col_get_writable	(	column_info *	cinfo,
		const int	col
	)

Are the columns writable?

Parameters

cinfo	the current packet row
col	the writable column, -1 for checking the state of all columns

Returns

true if it's writable, false if not

col_prepend_fence_fstr()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC void WS_DLL_PUBLIC void WS_DLL_PUBLIC void col_prepend_fence_fstr	(	column_info *	cinfo,
		const int	col,
		const char *	format,
			...
	)

Prepend the given text to a column element, the text will be formatted and copied.

Unprintable characters according to g_ascii_isprint() are escaped.

This function is similar to col_prepend_fstr() but this function will unconditionally set a fence to the end of the prepended data even if there were no fence before. The col_prepend_fstr() will only prepend the data before the fence IF there is already a fence created. This function will create a fence in case it does not yet exist.

col_prepend_fstr()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC void WS_DLL_PUBLIC void col_prepend_fstr	(	column_info *	cinfo,
		const int	col,
		const char *	format,
			...
	)

Prepend the given text to a column element, the text will be formatted and copied.

Unprintable characters according to g_ascii_isprint() are escaped.

Parameters

cinfo	the current packet row
col	the column to use, e.g. COL_INFO
format	the format string
...	the variable number of parameters

col_set_fence()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC void col_set_fence	(	column_info *	cinfo,
		const int	col
	)

Sets a fence for the current column content, so this content won't be affected by further col_... function calls.

This can be useful if a protocol is more than once in a single packet, e.g. multiple HTTP calls in a single TCP packet.

Parameters

cinfo	the current packet row
col	the column to use, e.g. COL_INFO

col_set_str()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC void col_set_str	(	column_info *	cinfo,
		const int	col,
		const char *	str
	)

Set (replace) the text of a column element, the text won't be formatted or copied.

Use this for simple static strings like protocol names. Don't use for untrusted strings or strings that may contain unprintable characters.

Usually used to set const strings!

Parameters

cinfo	the current packet row
col	the column to use, e.g. COL_INFO
str	the string to set

col_set_time()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC void WS_DLL_PUBLIC void col_set_time	(	column_info *	cinfo,
		const int	col,
		const nstime_t *	ts,
		const char *	fieldname
	)

Set the given (relative) time to a column element.

Used by dissectors to set the time in a column

Parameters

cinfo	the current packet row
col	the column to use, e.g. COL_INFO
ts	the time to set in the column
fieldname	the fieldname to use for creating a filter (when applying/preparing/copying as filter)

Todo:

TODO: We don't respect fd->ref_time (no way to access 'fd') COL_CHECK_REF_TIME(fd, buf);

col_set_writable()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC void col_set_writable	(	column_info *	cinfo,
