The shred_rd field should be defined with a mask, so that it's automatically
masked and shifted. I'm assuming it's a bit that represents "read only".
The Lua below lets you filter with "shred.rd == true":
-- read-only at bit 1
fields.shred_rd = ProtoField.bool("shred.rd", "Read only", base.DEC, nil, 0x02)
for shred = 1, num_shreds
do
subtree:add("----- NV Storage Shred" .. shred .. " -----")
subtree:add(fields.shred_id, buffer(offset, 8))
subtree:add(fields.shred_flags, buffer(offset+8, 8))
local flags=tonumber(tostring(buffer(offset+8,8):uint64()))
local hex=tostring(bit.tohex(bit.band(flags,0x02)))
subtree:add("----- NV Storage hexflags: " .. hex)
--[[
Since shred_rd is a bool, the buffer length must be 1.
shred_rd's offset (bit 1) is in the lower 8 bits of the 64-bit
flags.
]]--
local OFFSET_FLAGS_LSB = offset+8+7
subtree:add(fields.shred_rd, buffer(OFFSET_FLAGS_LSB,1))
offset=offset+inc
end
