I'd like to add a value that was fetched into a variable to the protocol

suppose to do that. Hence if I look on the definition in the epan\proto.h,
it requires all the parameters related to the tvb, but no references to the
variable itself.

Can somebody tell how to do that correctly?
Thanks




From proto.h (reformatted):

extern proto_item *
proto_tree_add_int(proto_tree *tree, int hfindex, tvbuff_t *tvb,
        gint start, gint length, gint32 value);


'value' sounds like what you're seeking ...   :)
