Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Dissecting a field that has non-octet bit boundaries

Hi Richard,

I had the same problem recently, that I solved using a bitmask in one of the register_info fields. It looked like that :

{
&hf_protocol_id,
            {
                "ID", "protocol.id",
                FT_UINT8, BASE_DEC_HEX,
                NULL, 0x1,
                NULL, HFILL
            },
        }

This should display only the first bit of a byte.

Hope that helps,

Regards

Yannick

Hi Folks,

I am trying to dissect MS-RSVD further since I have a capture of some
of that funky SCSI tunneled over SMB2/3.

Anyway, they have a 4-byte header that consists of:

1 byte:  Protocol ID
12 bits: Protocol Version
12 bits: Operation Code

How do I deal with this. It does not seem like proto_tree_add_bitmask
is the correct thing.
