Default encodage for FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME

Hello, I'm looking currently at epan/dissectors/packet-zep.c and I don't see any encoding specified for FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME. If nothing is specified, which one is the default? Here is a reminder of the different encoding taken from the documentation that don't specify that: For FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME fields, the encoding specifies the form in which the time stamp is specified, as well as its byte order. The time stamp encodings that are currently supported are: ENC_TIME_TIMESPEC - 8 bytes; the first 4 bytes are seconds since the UN*X epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) and the next 4 bytes are nanoseconds since that second. (I.e., a UN*X struct timespec with a 4-byte time_t.) ENC_TIME_NTP - 8 bytes; the first 4 bytes are seconds since the NTP epoch (1900-01-01 00:00:00 GMT) and the next 4 bytes are 1/2^32's of a second since that second. (I.e., a 64-bit count of 1/2^32's of a second since the NTP epoch, with the upper 32 bits first and the lower 32 bits second, even when little-endian.) ENC_TIME_TOD - 8 bytes, as a count of microseconds since the System/3x0 and z/Architecture epoch (1900-01-01 00:00:00 GMT). ENC_TIME_RTPS - 8 bytes; the first 4 bytes are seconds since the UN*X epoch and the next 4 bytes are are 1/2^32's of a second since that second. (I.e., it's the offspring of a mating between UN*X time and NTP time.) It's used by the Object Management Group's Real-Time Publish-Subscribe Wire Protocol for the Data Distribution Service. ENC_TIME_TIMEVAL - 8 bytes; the first 4 bytes are seconds since the UN*X epoch and the next 4 bytes are microseconds since that second. (I.e., a UN*X struct timeval with a 4-byte time_t.) ENC_TIME_SECS - 4 to 8 bytes, representing a value in seconds since the UN*X epoch. ENC_TIME_MSECS - 6 to 8 bytes, representing a value in milliseconds since the UN*X epoch. ENC_TIME_SECS_NTP - 4 bytes, representing a count of seconds since the NTP epoch. (I.e., seconds since the NTP epoch.) ENC_TIME_RFC_3971 - 8 bytes, representing a count of 1/64ths of a second since the UN*X epoch; see section 5.3.1 "Timestamp Option" in RFC 3971. ENC_TIME_MSEC_NTP - 4-8 bytes, representing a count of milliseconds since the NTP epoch. (I.e., milliseconds since the NTP epoch.) Best regards Rémy
