177 * @param tapname The name of the tap we want to listen to.
178 * @param tapdata is the instance identifier. The tap system uses the value of this
179 * pointer to distinguish between different instances of a tap.
180 * Just make sure that it is unique by letting it be the pointer to a struct
181 * holding all state variables. If you want to allow multiple concurrent
182 * instances, just put ALL state variables inside a struct allocated by
183 * g_malloc() and use that pointer.
184 * @param fstring is a pointer to a filter string.
185 * If this is NULL, then the tap system will provide ALL packets passing the
186 * tapped protocol to your listener.
187 * If you specify a filter string here the tap system will first try
188 * to apply this string to the packet and then only pass those packets that
189 * matched the filter to your listener.
190 * The syntax for the filter string is identical to normal display filters.
192 * NOTE: Specifying filter strings will have a significant performance impact
193 * on your application and Wireshark. If possible it is MUCH better to take
194 * unfiltered data and just filter it yourself in the packet-callback than
195 * to specify a filter string.
196 * ONLY use a filter string if no other option exist.
198 * @param flags is a set of flags for the tap listener. The flags that can be set are:
200 * TL_REQUIRES_PROTO_TREE
202 * set if your tap listener "packet" routine requires a protocol
203 * tree to be built. It will require a protocol tree to be
206 * 1) it looks at the protocol tree in edt->tree
210 * 2) the tap-specific data passed to it is constructed only if
211 * the protocol tree is being built.
213 * TL_REQUIRES_COLUMNS
215 * set if your tap listener "packet" routine requires the column
216 * strings to be constructed.
218 * If no flags are needed, use TL_REQUIRES_NOTHING.
220 * @param tap_reset void (*reset)(void *tapdata)
221 * This callback is called whenever Wireshark wants to inform your
222 * listener that it is about to start [re]reading a capture file or a new capture
223 * from an interface and that your application should reset any state it has
224 * in the *tapdata instance.
225 * @param tap_packet tap_packet_status (*packet)(void *tapdata, packet_info *pinfo, epan_dissect_t *edt, const void *data)
226 * This callback is used whenever a new packet has arrived at the tap and that
227 * it has passed the filter (if there were a filter).
228 * The *data structure type is specific to each tap.
229 * This function returns an bool and it should return
230 * true, if the data in the packet caused state to be updated
231 * (and thus a redraw of the window would later be required)
232 * false, if we don't need to redraw the window.
233 * NOTE: that (*packet) should be as fast and efficient as possible. Use this
234 * function ONLY to store data for later and do the CPU-intensive processing
235 * or GUI updates down in (*draw) instead.
236 * @param tap_draw void (*draw)(void *tapdata)
237 * This callback is used when Wireshark wants your application to redraw its
238 * output. It will usually not be called unless your application has received
239 * new data through the (*packet) callback.
240 * On some ports of Wireshark (gtk2) (*draw) will be called asynchronously
241 * from a separate thread up to once every 2-3 seconds.
242 * On other ports it might only be called once when the capture is finished
243 * or the file has been [re]read completely.
244 * @param tap_finish void (*finish)(void *tapdata)
245 * This callback is called when your listener is removed.
