Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] writing new dissector query

["bunty " <bunty123_4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 
hello all,
      I want to add my own protocol to ethereal. its contents are
struct myownhdr
{
     unsigned char *text;
     unsigned long int num;
};

for that i have written void proto_register_myip(void)
with Setup list of header fields  as

static hf_register_info hf[] = {
          { &hf_myip_text,
          { "Text",          "myip.text", FT_STRING, BASE_HEX, NULL, 0x0,
               "", HFILL }},
          { &hf_myip_num,
          { "num",          "myip.num", FT_UINT32, BASE_DEC, NULL, 0x0,
               "", HFILL }}
};


I want to confirm whether above is correct with respect to data types in my protocol structure and in defined setup list of header field.

regards,
bunty.
