Hi, You've done this the right ways, for a single instance representation. If this is a representation that would be needed more often (as in, is commonly used in various dissectors) it can be added to the ftypes system (see epan/ftypes), in this case ftype-time.c. I could image it being handled via a new FIELDDISPLAY for FIELDTYPE FT_RELATIVE_TIME. Thanks, Jaap On 06-05-16 01:59, Alan Partis wrote:
In the DIS dissector (packet-dis.c), I have constructed an nstime_t var and populated its .secs and .nsecs fields with calculated values from the protocol buffer. I'd like to have this display in the packet dissection pane in so-called formatted time i.e. "mm:ss.nnnnnn" where 'nnnnnn' displays to microsecond accuracy. Right now, the dissector simply calls proto_tree_add_time() and the time is displayed as a number of seconds with nanoseconds i.e. "ssss.nnnnnnnnn" with the final 3 digits always showing '000' (because the nstime_t structure only hold a microsecond accuracy). To achieve what I want, I've changed the dissector to instead call proto_tree_add_time_format_value(..., "%02u:%02u.%06u", mm, ss, usec); While that produces the desired result, it doesn't feel quite right to me. Is there another way to get a proto_tree_add_time_xxx() function to print automagically the format I want? Or did I actually do it right in the first place?
