Typically a filename + Directory where the the plugin dissector would write some statistic information.
For instance using a wireshark menu to set some variable that will be accessible from the plugin.As Anders suggested, you *can* give it global information through a preference setting. We should probably also add a notion of "conversations" available to dissectors at multiple layers (a notion more general than the current address-and-port-endpoint-pair notion, that can include multiple address layers, "circuits" for protocols that have a virtual circuit ID of some sort, and conversations at layers above the transport layer), and per-"conversation" settings as well, with Wireshark offering a GUI to let you select a conversation and set one or more of a set of dissector-specified parameters.Or maybe it is possible to add a menu from the plugin?A menu item to do what?
I imagine a menu that would open a popup asking to enter the filename + directory. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
