p_add_proto_data()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC void p_add_proto_data	(	wmem_allocator_t *	scope,
		struct _packet_info *	pinfo,
		int	proto,
		guint32	key,
		void *	proto_data
	)

Add data associated with a protocol.

This can be used to persist file-scoped data between packets or share packet-scoped data between dissectors without having to use global variables.

Each call adds a new entry to the protocol data list.

Parameters

scope	The memory scope, either pinfo->pool or wmem_file_scope().
pinfo	This dissection's packet info.
proto	The protocol ID.
key	A unique key for the data.
proto_data	The data to add.

p_get_proto_data()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC void* p_get_proto_data	(	wmem_allocator_t *	scope,
		struct _packet_info *	pinfo,
		int	proto,
		guint32	key
	)

Fetch data associated with a protocol.

Parameters

scope	The memory scope, typically pinfo->pool or wmem_file_scope().
pinfo	This dissection's packet info.
proto	The protocol ID.
key	A unique key for the data.

Returns

The data set using p_set_proto_data or most recently added using p_add_proto_data if the scope, protocol ID, and key match, otherwise NULL.

p_get_proto_depth()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC unsigned p_get_proto_depth	(	struct _packet_info *	pinfo,
		int	proto
	)

Fetch the current per-protocol and per-packet recursion, nesting, or cycling depth.

Parameters

pinfo	Packet info for this packet.
proto	The current protocol.

Returns

The current depth.

p_remove_proto_data()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC void p_remove_proto_data	(	wmem_allocator_t *	scope,
		struct _packet_info *	pinfo,
		int	proto,
		guint32	key
	)

Remove data associated with a protocol.

Parameters

scope	The memory scope, typically pinfo->pool or wmem_file_scope().
pinfo	This dissection's packet info.
proto	The protocol ID.
key	A unique key for the data.

p_set_proto_data()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC void p_set_proto_data	(	wmem_allocator_t *	scope,
		struct _packet_info *	pinfo,
		int	proto,
		guint32	key,
		void *	proto_data
	)

Set data associated with a protocol.

This can be used to persist file-scoped data between packets or share packet-scoped data between dissectors without having to use global variables.

If the protocol data list contains a matching entry it will be updated, otherwise a new entry will be created.

Parameters

scope	The memory scope, either pinfo->pool or wmem_file_scope().
pinfo	This dissection's packet info.
proto	The protocol ID.
key	A unique key for the data.
proto_data	The data to add.

p_set_proto_depth()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC void p_set_proto_depth	(	struct _packet_info *	pinfo,
		int	proto,
		unsigned	depth
	)

Initialize or update a per-protocol and per-packet check for recursion, nesting, cycling, etc.

Parameters

pinfo	Packet info for this packet.
proto	The current protocol.
depth	The depth to set.
