Michal Privoznik 010613cfd8 wireshark: Drop needless comment in dissect_xdr_bytes()
In the dissect_xdr_bytes() there's a comment that the string
allocated by xdr_bytes() can't be freed using xdr_free(). Well,
that is expected because xdr_bytes() used plain calloc() AND the
string is not an XDR struct but plain 'char *' type. Passing it
to xdr_free() must result in weird things happening.

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.

See also:

Installation

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

Add/Remove protocol from dissector's support

Modify argument input in tools/wireshark/src/libvirt/meson.build.

Changing installation directory

You can change installation directory of pluggable shared object(libvirt.so) by specifying --with-ws-plugindir=<path>.

You can install libvirt.so into your local wireshark plugin directory:

$ ./configure --with-wireshark-dissector \
              --with-ws-plugindir=$HOME/.wireshark/plugins
