Re: Finding init.lua after build from source

[Tony Trinh <tony19 () gmail com>]

Copy init.lua and console.lua to your home Wireshark directory:

     UN*X:             $HOME/.wireshark/
     Windows:       %APPDATA%\Wireshark\


Lua scripts that are in the plugins directory are automatically loaded. You
should remove the "dofile" call from init.lua. Alternatively, you can
explicitly load your Lua script with "-X lua_script":

     $ tshark -Xlua_script:/path/to/foo.lua -r fuzz.pcap
