πŸ’… rte_port_out_ops β€” the manual page, but make it cute

okay bestie, so this is rte_port_out_ops(3) from the DPDK library functions manual, and it's literally the blueprint for how an output port behaves. no cap, it's a struct of function pointers and it's giving "interface" in the most iconic way. let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

like, that's the whole vibe. it's the typedef/struct that tells DPDK "here's how you create, free, send, flush and read stats on an output port." periodt.
