Re: query regarding field registration of unicode string

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter () xs4all nl>]

Hi, 

There's no direct support for Unicode strings in Wireshark.


What's been done, by the SMB dissector for instance, is that the
Unicode string is extracted from the TVB and then converted to an ASCII
string before being added to the protocol tree using
proto_tree_add_string(). 

The TVB module provides you with some helper
functions: tvb_*fake_unicode(). 

Thanks,
Jaap

Hello,

I was going
through the Wireshark Developer's guide to understand the implementation
of a dissector. 

I had a doubt regarding the field registration of
unicode string. Is there any specific value for unicode string, or
FT_NONE is to be used while setting up a list of header fields using the
array - hf[ ]?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ajay Seshadri
