RE: [Ethereal-dev] Multiple/Recursive PDUs

["Bill Florac" <bill.florac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can one the re-use the same fields for multiple instances?  For example
if a PDU contains a "flag" field, can I point the flag data from
multiple PDU's to the same registered flag fields.  It seems to work but
am I digging my self into a hole?

Sure, go ahead. A plugin is just a physical code unit, what really
counts are the fields and dissector functions you register.

Good luck,
