Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Memory Question

[Sébastien Tandel <sebastien@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

   target is what *you* want it to be. tvb_memcpy is a convenient way to copy a part of the tvbuff in a part of the memory *you* control. iow, you have *allocated* this part of memory and *you* are responsible to *free* this memory.

   Can I ask you where is this "elsewhere" and what is its purpose? Could you not simply use the tvbuff as-is instead? Could you explain us the reasons for which you would like to use tvb_memcpy?

Regards,

Sebastien Tandel

I am using tvb_memcpy(tvb, void* target, offset, data_length); to grab a single part of the tvbuff to send elsewhere for decoding. However, what is target? i think its memory, but how do i free memory? i'm confused about how to use tvb_memcpy for this.

Thanks,

Greg
