rte_swx_ct...field_info(3)

✨ NAME ✨

rte_swx_ctl_table_match_field_info — bestie, this is the little struct that holds the tea on one single table match field 💅

This page lives in the Library Functions Manual section of the rte_swx_ct...field_info(3) man family, and it's literally just one struct's glow-up. Let's get into it 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <rte_swx_ctl.h>

📋 Data Fields

• enum rte_swx_table_match_type match_type
• int is_header
• uint32_t n_bits
• uint32_t offset

---

💖 Detailed Description 💖

Table match field info. That's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

Okay but here's the lowkey iconic part: if (n_bits, offset) are known for all the match fields of the table, then the table (key_offset, key_size, key_mask0) can be computed. Like, the whole key situation just falls out of having these little numbers. It's giving main character energy fr fr 🔥

🌸 Field Documentation 🌸

🌈 enum rte_swx_table_match_type match_type

Match type of the current match field, periodt.

Definition at line 275 of file rte_swx_ctl.h.

🎀 int is_header

Non-zero (true) when the current match field is part of a registered header, zero (false) when it is part of the registered meta-data. So basically: is it a header or is it meta-data, bestie, there is no third option 😌

Definition at line 280 of file rte_swx_ctl.h.

🦋 uint32_t n_bits

Match field size (in bits). Yes, bits. Not bytes. Don't do bytes, that's not the move 🙈

Definition at line 283 of file rte_swx_ctl.h.

⭐ uint32_t offset

Match field offset within its parent struct — and the parent struct is one of the headers or the meta-data, depending on which one this field belongs to. iykyk 💜
