How will you use the search paths?

I want to use lua to open some file under this folder("protobuf serach paths" ) and then read/write

11.6. Configuration Profiles

Protobuf Search Paths (protobuf_search_paths) (Section 11.21, “Protobuf Search Paths”)

The UAT file can be part of a profile and I don't know a way to determine what the current profile is.

what does UAT mean?

epan/uat.c:

 *  uat.c
 *
 *  User Accessible Tables
 *  Maintain an array of user accessible data structures

Probably not a proper analogy but I think of them as config files that the user can update in the Wireshark gui.
I'm going to open an enhancement request to get access to current profile from lua. Will add a link to it here when complete.

Does plugin complied by C can get "protobuf serach paths" ?

navahoo ( 2023-10-12 14:55:36 +0000 )edit

epan/dissectors/packet-protobuf.c:

        /* load all .proto files in the marked search paths, we can invoke FindMethodByName etc later. */
