How to present in Wireshark "general information": <proto name="geninfo" pos="0" showname="General information" <="" p="">

What do you mean by "present"? The "geninfo" "protocol" is there because the PDML specification requires it; it's just some selected items of what's in the "frame" protocol.

Each item from "geninfo" (frame number, length, captured length, and time stamp) is in the packet details; however, it's under "Frame" - there is no "Geninfo" item in the packet details, and there's no mechanism in Wireshark to make it show such an item.

The only reason it exists is because the PDML specification requires it; if it weren't required, Wireshark would just let the "frame" protocol provide that information.
