standalone packet dissection

[Zack Elan <zelan () autovirt com>]

Is it possible to call a packet dissector from external code? Specifically, I'd be calling into the SMB/SMB2 dissectors 
from C#, though I realize I'll almost certainly have to write some C or C++ glue code to get them talking to each other.

What I'm trying to do is use the Wireshark dissectors as a reference implementation for automated testing of the SMB 
library my company is developing (we can't re-use the Wireshark dissector directly, for both legal reasons - we're a 
closed-source, commercial product - and technical reasons).

I've read the developer README, as well as the docs on writing a new dissector, and I've poked around the 
epan/dissectors/ directory, but I'm still unsure where to start or how exactly to approach this. Any pointers in the 
right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Zack
