rte_service_spec(3)

📦 version 26.03, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💖 rte_service_spec(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one is a struct page from the DPDK Library Functions Manual, and honestly? it's giving "backstage pass to the service system" energy. it's rte_service_spec, the literal spec sheet for a service. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

rte_service_spec — no cap, that's the whole name. main character struct behavior 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <rte_service_component.h>

🎀 Data Fields 🎀

here's the squad, all five of them:

char name [RTE_SERVICE_NAME_MAX]
rte_service_func callback
void * callback_userdata
uint32_t capabilities
int socket_id

🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

so this struct is the specification of a service. it's lowkey just the metadata package — it holds all the info about the service itself, plus the callback function that runs one iteration of the service, a userdata pointer, flags, etc. everything the service needs to show up and slay 💅

fr fr: it's Definition at line 35 of file rte_service_component.h. keep that receipt 🧾

⭐ Field Documentation ⭐

🌈 char name[RTE_SERVICE_NAME_MAX]

the name of the service. and like — this one matters, bestie. the application is supposed to use it to understand what purpose this service provides. it's the service's whole identity, its little name tag at the party 🏷️✨

it's Definition at line 39 of file rte_service_component.h.

💜 rte_service_func callback

the callback you invoke to run one iteration of the service. one loop around the block, that's it, that's the vibe 🔁

it's Definition at line 41 of file rte_service_component.h.

🍓 void* callback_userdata

the userdata pointer that gets provided to the service callback. it's the little bag of stuff your callback gets handed so it knows what's up 🙈

it's Definition at line 43 of file rte_service_component.h.

🔥 uint32_t capabilities

flags that indicate the capabilities of this service. and listen — for the actual values of RTE_SERVICE_CAP_* you gotta go look at the defines in the public header file. iykyk, go check the header 👀

it's Definition at line 47 of file rte_service_component.h.

🌸 int socket_id

NUMA socket ID that this service is affinitized to. it's literally telling you which socket this service is cozy with 🛏️

it's Definition at line 49 of file rte_service_component.h.
