checking if 

pinfo->fd->num == 1

That is, if the frame number of the packet is 1. Might be sufficient for your purposes.

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] how do I know that a new capture has been started

Hello all,

Into a plugin dissector,
how do I know that :
- a new capture has been started
- a new file is loaded

reset callback of register_tap_listener ?
other possibilities ?

Can I use (or it is normal to use) the tap system on my own protocol ?
other possibilities ?



Thanks,
Olivier
