Michal Privoznik 98aefa813d wireshark: Adapt to dissector function header change
In wireshark commit bbdd89b9 (contained in 2.1.0 release) they
have changed prototype of dissector function. Now it returns
number of bytes consumed by the dissector, and can get a pointer
to user specified data (which we don't use).

About

This is the project of Google Summer of Code 2013 accepted by QEMU.org and libvirt community. The goal of this project is, provide Wireshark dissector for Libvirt RPC protocol. It will provide Libvirt packet overview/detail analysing in Wireshark. Furthermore, it will be able to build(generated) from RPC protocol definition placed in Libvirt source tree to support latest protocol specification.

Installation

Run ./configure with --with-wireshark-dissector option enabled. Then dissector will compiled with libvirt itself.

Add/Remove protocol from dissector's support

Modify variable WS_DISSECTOR_PROTO_FILES in tools/wireshark/src/Makefile.am.
