For example, if I have the item:
VarData: Active (0x90)
How do I add details under this item? I would like to add some text under it. I use C to make my dissector.
In C, when you add the item, usually with proto_tree_add_item(...), then that returns a proto_item that can be used in a call to proto_item_add_subtree(item, ...) which returns a proto_tree for your subtree which can be used in subsequent proto_tree_add_item calls.
See section 1.5.2 of doc\README.dissector.
Thank you.
One more thing, how do I add text as an item?
text that's in the packet data or text "generated" by your dissector?
In Lua: when adding your item using
my_subtree:add(VarData,...)
you just assign that to a variable, like
local varDataSubtree = my_subtree:add(VarData,...)
Then, you add the details using
varDataSubtree:add(Detail1,...)
