rte_memseg(3)

💖 rte_memseg(3) 💖

okay bestie, we're looking at rte_memseg from the rte_memory.h header — this is a Library Functions Manual situation and it's genuinely iconic. it's the struct that describes a physical memory segment. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

rte_memseg — your physical memory segment descriptor, no cap 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <rte_memory.h>

🌸 Data Fields 🌸

• rte_iova_t iova
• size_t len
• uint64_t hugepage_sz
• int32_t socket_id
• uint32_t nchannel
• uint32_t nrank
• uint32_t flags

---

👑 Detailed Description 👑

Physical memory segment descriptor. that's it, that's the girl. she's literally defined at line 49 of the file rte_memory.h, and she's serving structure. 🫶

🎀 Field Documentation 🎀

⭐ rte_iova_t iova

Start IO address. (definition at line 50 of rte_memory.h)

⭐ void* addr

Start virtual address. (definition at line 52 of rte_memory.h)

⭐ uint64_t addr_64

Makes sure addr is always 64 bits — yes ma'am, future-proofing is a love language. (definition at line 53 of rte_memory.h)

⭐ size_t len

Length of the segment. (definition at line 55 of rte_memory.h)

⭐ uint64_t hugepage_sz

The pagesize of underlying memory. (definition at line 56 of rte_memory.h)

⭐ int32_t socket_id

NUMA socket ID. know your socket, bestie. (definition at line 57 of rte_memory.h)

⭐ uint32_t nchannel

Number of channels. (definition at line 58 of rte_memory.h)

⭐ uint32_t nrank

Number of ranks. (definition at line 59 of rte_memory.h)

⭐ uint32_t flags

Memseg-specific flags. (definition at line 60 of rte_memory.h)

💀 quick heads up: addr and addr_64 show up in the Field Documentation but not in the synopsis data fields list up top. the manpage said it, so i'm saying it. i don't make the rules. 🙈
