NEW_CT(3)

💅 rte_flow_modify_conntrack(3) — from the Library Functions Manual, bestie 🎀

okay so this one is a struct, not a function, even though the NAME section is out here lying to us and just saying rte_flow_modify_conntrack with no explanation whatsoever. iconic of it honestly. it's from <rte_flow.h> in DPDK land, and it's all about updating connection tracking contexts. buckle up 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

rte_flow_modify_conntrack — that's it, that's the whole name section, no cap. the manpage gives us zero extra context here so neither will I 💀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

drop this include in your file first, bestie:

#include <rte_flow.h>

🎀 Data Fields

here's the whole squad, laid out exactly like this:

struct rte_flow_action_conntrack new_ct
uint32_t direction:1
uint32_t state:1
uint32_t reserved:30

yes the bitfields are real, yes direction and state get exactly one bit each, and reserved is out here hogging 30 of them. main character energy honestly 👑

---

💖 Detailed Description 💖

so this wrapper struct is tied to RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_CONNTRACK, and it wraps up the context update interface. it's giving "middle management for your conntrack state" 🫶

⚠️ big heads up: ports cannot support updating. like, at all. the only valid solution is to destroy the old context and create a brand new one instead. so don't come for the update path, it's not there 😭

this whole thing lives at Definition at line 4087 of file rte_flow.h. go look, it's literally right there ✨

🌈 Field Documentation 🌈

⭐ struct rte_flow_action_conntrack new_ct

the new connection tracking parameters that are gonna get updated. this is the actual payload, the whole reason we're here 💜

definition at line 4089 of file rte_flow.h.

⭐ uint32_t direction

flip this and the direction field is the one that gets updated. just direction. that's the whole vibe 🧭

definition at line 4091 of file rte_flow.h.

⭐ uint32_t state

flip this one and it's the opposite deal: all the other fields except direction get updated. so state = "everything but direction", got it? iykyk 🔥

definition at line 4093 of file rte_flow.h.

⭐ uint32_t reserved

reserved bits, saved for future usage. it's literally just sitting there holding space for the future, we love a forward-thinking icon 🌸

definition at line 4095 of file rte_flow.h.
