πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ

π¦ Detailed Description π¦
so here's the tea: this is an union β and it holds the inputs for all types of flow π.
and listen, this part is important, don't skip it: the Items in flows need to be in big endian π«Ά. not little endian, not "whatever endian my machine happens to be," big endian. that's a technical requirement, not a vibe, okay? π
π fr fr, if you hand it the wrong endianness you're gonna have a bad time. big endian. that's the rule.
π it's defined at line 268 of the file rte_eth_ctrl.h β go look, it's right there π
