Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] text file as input to wireshark

Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2007 16:34:10 +0530
Hi ,
 
I've written a dissector for my own protocol .This is just to enhance my understanding of writing dissectors .
I've completed coding and now I wish to test my dissector. But as it is an imaginary protocol , I cannot get the packets for it .
I wish to test it by writing a text file and passing it as input to the wireshark.
 
Can anyone suggest me how to write the text file for my protocol . Any sample text files would be welcome .
 
My protocol runs over SUA layer and a simple packet would look like :
        -----------------------------------------------------
       |        Name : 0 = X , 1 = Y                |
        -----------------------------------------------------
       |        Id                                           |
        -----------------------------------------------------
       |        Class                                     |
        -----------------------------------------------------
       |        Roll                                        |
        -----------------------------------------------------
 
 
Regards ,
Vikash
