NAME

Parse::Pidl::Wireshark::Conformance - Conformance file parser for Wireshark

DESCRIPTION

This module supports parsing Wireshark conformance files (*.cnf).

FILE FORMAT

Pidl needs additional data for Wireshark output. This data is read from so-called conformance files. This section describes the format of these files.

Conformance files are simple text files with a single command on each line. Empty lines and lines starting with a '#' character are ignored. Arguments to commands are separated by spaces.

The following commands are currently supported:

Register new data type with specified name, what dissector function to call and what properties to give header fields for elements of this type.
Suppress emitting a dissect_type function for the specified type
Set parameter to specify to dissector function for given type.
Generate a custom header field with specified properties.
Force the use of new_hf_name when the parser generator was going to use old_hf_name.

This can be used in conjunction with HF_FIELD in order to make more than one element use the same filter name.

Register a custom ett field
Remove the specified prefix from all function names (if present).
Change the short-, long- and filter-name for the current interface in Wireshark.
Change description for the specified header field. `field' is the hf name of the field.
Code to insert when generating the specified dissector. @HF@ and @PARAM@ will be substituted.
Include conformance data from the specified filename in the dissector.
Override the text shown when a bitmap boolean value is enabled or disabled.
Force pidl to not generate a particular function but allow the user to write a function manually. This can be used to remove the function for only one level for a particular element rather than all the functions and ett/hf variables for a particular element as the NOEMIT command does.
