rte_flow_p...plate_attr(3)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the rte_flow_p...plate_attr(3) page — yes that's literally the title, it's from the Library Functions Manual, and the whole star of the show is rte_flow_pattern_template_attr. it's giving "struct with four bitfields and a lot of feelings." let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pull it in like this, no cap:

#include <rte_flow.h>

🎀 Data Fields 🎀

the whole squad, and yes every single one is a uint32_t bitfield of width 1:

• uint32_t relaxed_matching:1
• uint32_t ingress:1
• uint32_t egress:1
• uint32_t transfer:1

🔥 Detailed Description 🔥

⚠️ Warning — EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice. like, fr fr, it can shift under you. don't get too attached 😭

so what even is this? it's the Flow pattern template attributes — the little vibe-check settings that ride along with a pattern template. that's the whole personality.

🌸 Field Documentation 🌸

🦋 uint32_t relaxed_matching

the relaxed matching policy, aka the chill setting. here's how it goes:

• if it's 1, matching is performed only on items with the mask member set, and matching on protocol layers specified without any masks is skipped.
• if it's 0, matching on protocol layers specified without any masks is done as well — and this is the standard behaviour of Flow API now. iconic default energy 👑

🌈 uint32_t ingress

flow direction for the pattern template, and heads up: at least one direction must be specified (yes, that's a real rule, not a suggestion 💀). this one means the pattern is valid for rules applied to ingress traffic. come on in 🚪

⭐ uint32_t egress

pattern valid for rules applied to egress traffic. bye bestie, leaving the building 👋

Definition at line 5706 of file rte_flow.h. 📍

💜 uint32_t transfer

pattern valid for rules applied to transfer traffic. main character energy, moving between worlds ✨
