Function Documentation

get_column_text()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC const char * get_column_text	(	column_info *	cinfo,
		const int	col
	)

Get the text of a column element. The string returned may depend on whether the resolved member variable is set. For internal Wireshark use, not to be called from dissectors. Dissectors use col_get_text() in column-utils.h

Parameters

cinfo	the column information
col	the column index to use (not the format)

Returns

the text string

parse_column_format()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC bool parse_column_format	(	fmt_data *	cfmt,
		const char *	fmt
	)

Parse a column format string into a fmt_data struct. If the format string possibly can be that of a deprecated column that has been migrated to a custom column (e.g., upon first being read from a preference file), call try_convert_to_custom_column() first.

Parameters

[out]	cfmt	The parsed cfmt, still owned by the caller. For custom columns, the caller is responsible for freeing the custom_fields member as well.
[in]	fmt	The column format to parse.

Returns

true if conversion was successful, false if unsuccessful

try_convert_to_column_field()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC const char * try_convert_to_column_field

(

const char *

field

)

Checks a column field string to see if it is a name of a filter field created using a default column title (as used in tshark -e), and alias it to the new column type based field.

Parameters

[in]

field

The old title based field, e.g. "_ws.col.Info"

Returns

The new field, e.g. "_ws.col.info", or NULL

try_convert_to_custom_column()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC void try_convert_to_custom_column

(

char **

fmt

)

Checks a column format string to see if it is a deprecated column that has been migrated to a custom column, and converts the format to the corresponding custom column format if so, otherwise leaving it unchanged.

Parameters

[in,out]

fmt

The column format to check and possibly convert.
