rte_eth_txmode(3)

📦 version 26.03, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

✨ rte_eth_txmode — the manual page, but make it make sense ✨

ok so bestie, this is rte_eth_txmode(3) from the DPDK Library Functions Manual, and honestly? it's giving "small struct, big job" 💅 because this lil cutie is literally the whole vibe check for how your Ethernet port sends stuff out. let me walk you through it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

rte_eth_txmode

like, that's it, that's the name, no cap 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <rte_ethdev.h>

🎀 Data Fields 🎀

enum rte_eth_tx_mq_mode mq_mode
uint64_t offloads
__extension__ uint8_t hw_vlan_reject_tagged: 1
__extension__ uint8_t hw_vlan_reject_untagged: 1
__extension__ uint8_t hw_vlan_insert_pvid: 1
uint64_t reserved_64s [2]
void * reserved_ptrs [2]

ok those __extension__ bitfields are real, keep them exactly like that, do not come for them 😭

💜 Detailed Description 💜

a structure used to configure the Tx features of an Ethernet port. that's the whole assignment, and she ate 🔥

lowkey important: this is the struct you fill in to tell the port how it should be sending packets out. Tx = transmit = the sending side, iykyk.

👑 Field Documentation 👑

💫 enum rte_eth_tx_mq_mode mq_mode

Tx multi-queues mode. that's the mode for how multiple Tx queues are behaving — the multi-queue vibe, fr fr.

definition at line 1042 of file rte_ethdev.h.

💫 uint64_t offloads

per-port Tx offloads to be set using RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_* flags. main character field honestly 🌈

⚠️ important caveat, do not skip: only offloads set on the tx_offload_capa field on the rte_eth_dev_info structure are allowed to be set. so if it's not listed in tx_offload_capa, you cannot put it here, periodt 💀

definition at line 1048 of file rte_ethdev.h.

💫 __extension__ uint8_t hw_vlan_reject_tagged

if set, reject sending out tagged pkts. like, tagged packets are NOT invited to the party 🙈

definition at line 1053 of file rte_ethdev.h.

💫 __extension__ uint8_t hw_vlan_reject_untagged

if set, reject sending out untagged pkts. same energy, opposite guest list 🎀

definition at line 1055 of file rte_ethdev.h.

💫 __extension__ uint8_t hw_vlan_insert_pvid

if set, enable port based VLAN insertion. she inserts the PVID, iconic behavior 👑

definition at line 1057 of file rte_ethdev.h.

💫 uint64_t reserved_64s[2]

reserved for future fields. it's giving "don't touch, she's reserved" ⭐

definition at line 1059 of file rte_ethdev.h.

💫 void* reserved_ptrs[2]

reserved for future fields. same vibe, pointer edition 🦋

definition at line 1060 of file rte_ethdev.h.
