Hi,

(Keeping this on list, as it should)

You should be looking at using cscope (assuming you're using a UNIX variant OS) to index your source tree. You can feed this your questions and it will show you where these are. That is much better than documentation that gets outdated.

Thanks,
Jaap

Dear Jaap,

Thank you for your response for wireshark.

I wanted to ask you another question: is there some list of all data types
(structures) definitions that are defined by the developers?
For example, the definition of the structure conversations_table I found in the
file conversations_table.h.

For now, I need the definitions for the structures:

  * conv_id_t
  * nstime_t
  * SAT_E
  * address
  * ptype

Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Kiril

Hi,

First of all there's a lot of GTK+ programming going on, so if you want to know
about that consult http://www.gtk.org/documentation.php

Then there's a lot of conversation tracking going on, so if you want to know
about that consult doc/README.developer section 2.2 to see how it's used, and
research from there.

There's retapping, so if you want to know about that consult doc/README.tapping.

Hope it helps,
Jaap
