RTE_ETH_EVENT_MACSEC_DESC(3)

✨ rte_eth_event_macsec_desc(3) ✨

okay bestie, gather round 🫶 this one lives in the Library Functions Manual and it's genuinely so cute once you get it. it's a struct. a little baby descriptor. and she EATS. 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

rte_eth_event_macsec_desc — no cap, that's literally the whole name, that's her. 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <rte_ethdev.h>

💖 Data Fields 💖

enum rte_eth_event_macsec_type type
enum rte_eth_event_macsec_subtype subtype
uint64_t metadata

three fields. three. iconic trio behaviour honestly. ✨

---

🎀 Detailed Description 🎀

so. this is the descriptor for the RTE_ETH_EVENT_MACSEC event. that's the whole vibe. ethdev uses it to send along the extra info that comes with the MACsec offload event — like, the event itself is the main character, and this struct is the entourage carrying the details. 🌈

💜 Field Documentation 💜

⭐ enum rte_eth_event_macsec_type type

it's the type of RTE_ETH_EVENT_MACSEC_* event. the what-happened. the whole point. 💫

Definition at line 4117 of file rte_ethdev.h.

🍓 enum rte_eth_event_macsec_subtype subtype

and this one is the type of RTE_ETH_SUBEVENT_MACSEC_* subevent — like the type said "here's the category" and subtype said "okay but SPECIFICALLY". two layers of lore, we love a hierarchy. 🙈

Definition at line 4119 of file rte_ethdev.h.

🧚 uint64_t metadata

event specific metadata, bestie. that's it, that's the field. 🎀

but okay here's the tea: for the following events, the userdata you registered with the rte_security_session gets returned to you as the metadata. so it's your own little note coming back home to you. iykyk. 💌

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 💖 this came to you from DPDK, Version 25.11.3, and it's the rte_eth_ev...macsec_desc(3) page — the truncation in the header is just the man page system being dramatic about long names, we don't take it personally. slay, go forth, go read rte_ethdev.h around line 4115, and remember: the facts didn't change, only the vibe did. periodt. 💅✨🦋
