rte_compressdev_global(3)

💖 NAME 💖

rte_compressdev_global — bestie, this is the struct that keeps the whole compression-device situation from falling apart 🫶

(it lives in the Library Functions Manual, which is giving very much "section 3, we're fancy here")

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <rte_compressdev_pmd.h>

🎀 Data Fields 🎀

• struct rte_compressdev * devs
• struct rte_compressdev_data * data [RTE_COMPRESS_MAX_DEVS]
• uint8_t nb_devs
• uint8_t max_devs

🌸 Detailed Description 🌸

Okay so picture this: this is the global structure that holds down the whole state of your allocated compress devices. Like, all the bookkeeping for every compressed device you've got going on, living in one struct. Main character energy, honestly 👑

Fr fr, it's defined at line 45 of the file rte_compressdev_pmd.h. Noted, remembered, slaying.
