Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] PTP Protocol Fields

Hello,

I am trying to use tshark to export fields to a text file for the PTP protocol.

I usually determine the correct field name by right clicking in the UI and then determining the field name, in this example, one would be:

ptp.v2.sig.tlv.logInterMessagePeriod.period

If I copy the value as a test it always shows "0", but copying the Description, I get the readable value "period: every 1 seconds"

Is there a way to get tshark to export the description versus the value with the -e option?

Also, curious why the value differs from the description field presented in the UI (value is always "0").

Thanks,
Barry
