💖 rte_node_register(3) — bestie edition 💖

okay so you opened the Library Functions Manual page for rte_node_register(3) and I am SO glad you're here. this is the struct that holds all the deets for registering a node in DPDK's graph thingy, and yes it is exactly as iconic as it sounds. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

rte_node_register — the node registration parameters struct, and she is the main character of node setup, no cap 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, bestie, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <rte_graph.h>

🎀 Data Fields

here's the whole cast, in order, exactly as they appear:

  • char name[RTE_NODE_NAMESIZE]
  • uint64_t flags
  • rte_node_process_t process
  • rte_node_init_t init
  • rte_node_fini_t fini
  • struct rte_node_xstats * xstats
  • rte_node_t id
  • rte_node_t parent_id
  • rte_edge_t nb_edges
  • const char * next_nodes []

✨ Detailed Description ✨

so literally, this structure defines the node registration parameters. that's the whole vibe — you fill this baby out, you hand her over, and the graph knows what your node is about. slay 💅

✨ Field Documentation ✨

🌟 char name[RTE_NODE_NAMESIZE]

the name of the node. yes bestie, she needs a name. give her one.

Definition at line 496 of file rte_graph.h.

🌟 uint64_t flags

the node configuration flag. this is where you tell the node how to behave.

Definition at line 497 of file rte_graph.h.

🌟 rte_node_process_t process

the node process function. this is the actual do-the-thing function — her job, her purpose, her moment 🔥

Definition at line 499 of file rte_graph.h.

🌟 rte_node_init_t init

the node init function. the little "getting ready" routine before the party starts.

Definition at line 500 of file rte_graph.h.

🌟 rte_node_fini_t fini

the node fini function. the wrap-up, the goodbye, the we're done here moment 😭

Definition at line 501 of file rte_graph.h.

🌟 struct rte_node_xstats* xstats

the node specific xstats. stats but make it just for her. obsessed 📊✨

🌟 rte_node_t id

the node Identifier. her ID. her little name tag at the function.

Definition at line 503 of file rte_graph.h.

🌟 rte_node_t parent_id

the identifier of parent node. who's her parent? that's this field. family tree but in a graph 🌈

Definition at line 504 of file rte_graph.h.

🌟 rte_edge_t nb_edges

the number of edges from this node. count 'em up, bestie — that's how many connections she's got.

Definition at line 505 of file rte_graph.h.

🌟 const char* next_nodes[]

the names of next nodes. literally just the names of whoever comes after her. the group chat she forwards things to 💌
