Re: subprotocols

[Charles Smith <cts.private.yahoo () gmail com>]

Hello Pascal,

I don't find any .c files under (ubuntu) /usr/share/wireshark - is this
only available to a dissector that's linked-in to the executable?  Or can I
access it via lua, as well?  Or, do I only need to get the source tarball
in order to study the example?  Would it be wiser to ditch my lua code and
do it in c?

TIA
