Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] What do you use to get a boolean

Wireshark has a field type FT_BOOLEAN.
It lets you add the boolean to the tree using
proto_tree_add_boolean(tree, id, tvb, start, length, value);
and is supposed to do all the bit shifting for you to extract the single bit 0 or 1.

I thought it might also provide some way for me to test the bit value?

What's a boolean?

Is it a 32-bit entity?  Frequently, but it might not always be.

You probably want to use one of the size-appropriate functions (like
tvb_get_ntohl()).
