Can anybody please explain the purpose of subtree array (ett_...)? I don't get why should i have several different etts in my dissector's code, while there is no information assotiated with these integers.
My understanding is that Wireshark uses the subtree identifier when you move between packets to know which subtrees to leave open if you already had it open. The idea is that the same information (same subtree) in each packet is shown at the same time. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
