Re: Checking for Qt in a dissector

[Pascal Quantin <pascal.quantin () gmail com>]

Hi Paul,

Le 3 juil. 2017 18:47, "Paul Offord" <Paul.Offord () advance7 com> a écrit :

I have a dissector that needs to confirm that it is running in a Qt
environment i.e. Wireshark 2.x.x and not tshark.  What is a good way to
check for this?


Sorry to say that but IMHO you should not / must not have such a need. Any
dissector that would behave differently depending on the application used
(command line, GTK UI, Qt UI) has a design flaw.
Dissectors should behave the same way whatever the user frontend, and taps
are here to present the data to the user differently depending on the
interface used.
I sincerely hope we do not expose the info you are requesting to
libwireshark....

Regards,
Pascal.
