rte_timer(3)

💖 rte_timer 💖

okay so bestie, this is the rte_timer page from the Library Functions Manual — section 3, iykyk — and it is literally all about one iconic little structure. Buckle up, it's a short one but she ate. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

rte_timer — that's the name, that's the whole name, periodt. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

First things first, you gotta include the header:

#include <rte_timer.h>

🎀 Data Fields 🎀

The struct is serving five fields, and every single one is doing its job:

• uint64_t expire — the time when the timer expires.
• volatile union rte_timer_status status — the status of the timer. She's a volatile union and that's the whole mood.
• uint64_t period — the period of the timer (0 if it's not periodic).
• rte_timer_cb_t f — the callback function.
• void * arg — the argument to the callback function.

💅 Detailed Description 💅

okay so here's the tea: rte_timer is a structure describing a timer in RTE. That's the assignment, that's the vibe, no notes. 🫶

And for the receipts girlies: Definition at line 98 of file rte_timer.h.

🦋 Field Documentation 🦋

⭐ uint64_t expire

Time when timer expire. Grammar? Not the vibe check we're running today — the facts are the facts, bestie.

Definition at line 100 of file rte_timer.h.

⭐ volatile union rte_timer_status status

Status of timer. It's giving "she contains multitudes" and honestly? Slay.

Definition at line 102 of file rte_timer.h.

⭐ uint64_t period

Period of timer (0 if not periodic). Zero is the "one-and-done, no recurring era" setting, iykyk.

⭐ rte_timer_cb_t f

Callback function. That's her, that's the function in question. 💃

Definition at line 104 of file rte_timer.h.

⭐ void* arg

Argument to callback function. The callback's plus-one, fr fr. 🫶

🌈 bye bestie 🌈

That's the whole page! It's from the DPDK fam, Version 26.03.0, and it's rte_timer(3). There's no date on this footer, so don't come for me — I'm just the messenger. mwah 💋🎀
