Hello list,
I'm currently trying to write a wireshark disector that slices up a
specific custom USB device. Now I've read the (BTW absolutely
marvellous!) documentation about how writing plugins and I can get
disectors to work which do basic stuff (like recognize IP packets or
such). But since I want to disect USB (which appearently is also coded
in a module), when I call:
dissector_add("usb.data_flag", 0x1, sbig_handle);
Wireshark cries out in pain:
ERROR:packet.c:697:dissector_add: assertion failed: (sub_dissectors)
It seems it cannot find the "usb" disector (which presumably isn't
loaded at that time of execution) - it doesn't matter if I type in
"usb.data_flag" or "fdsuhfd", it's the exact same exception.
How is such a case handled, where one plugin depends on another being
loaded?
Kind regards
Johannes
