Detailed Description

RTE Configuration File

This library allows reading application defined parameters from standard format configuration file.

Definition in file rte_cfgfile.h.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define CFG_DEFAULT_COMMENT_CHARACTER   ';'

Defines the default comment character used for parsing config files.

Definition at line 64 of file rte_cfgfile.h.

Enumeration Type Documentation

anonymous enum

cfgfile load operation flags

Enumerator
CFG_FLAG_GLOBAL_SECTION 

Indicates that the file supports key value entries before the first defined section. These entries can be accessed in the "GLOBAL" section.

CFG_FLAG_EMPTY_VALUES 

Indicates that file supports key value entries where the value can be zero length (e.g., "key=").

Definition at line 47 of file rte_cfgfile.h.

entrynameEntry name to add.
entryvalueEntry value to add.
Returns
0 on success, -EEXIST if entry already exist, -EINVAL if bad argument
int rte_cfgfile_set_entry ( struct rte_cfgfile *  cfg,
const char *  sectionname,
const char *  entryname,
const char *  entryvalue 
)

Update value of specified entry name in given section in config file

Parameters
cfgConfig file
sectionnameSection name
entrynameEntry name to look for the value change
entryvalueNew entry value. Can be also an empty string if CFG_FLAG_EMPTY_VALUES = 1
Returns
0 on success, -EINVAL if bad argument
int rte_cfgfile_save ( struct rte_cfgfile *  cfg,
const char *  filename 
)

Save object cfgfile to file on disc

Parameters
cfgConfig file structure
filenameFile name to save data
Returns
0 on success, errno otherwise
int rte_cfgfile_num_sections ( struct rte_cfgfile *  cfg,
const char *  sec_name,
size_t  length 
)

Get number of sections in config file

Parameters
cfgConfig file
sec_nameSection name
lengthMaximum section name length
Returns
Number of sections
Examples:
examples/qos_sched/cfg_file.c.
int rte_cfgfile_sections ( struct rte_cfgfile *  cfg,
char *  sections[],
int  max_sections 
)

Get name of all config file sections.

Fills in the array sections with the name of all the sections in the file (up to the number of max_sections sections).

Parameters
cfgConfig file
sectionsArray containing section names after successful invocation. Each element of this array should be preallocated by the user with at least CFG_NAME_LEN characters.
max_sectionsMaximum number of section names to be stored in sections array
Returns
Number of populated sections names

Examples:
examples/qos_sched/cfg_file.c.
int rte_cfgfile_section_num_entries ( struct rte_cfgfile *  cfg,
const char *  sectionname 
)

Get number of entries in given config file section

If multiple sections have the given name this function operates on the first one.

Parameters
cfgConfig file
sectionnameSection name
Returns
Number of entries in section on success, -1 otherwise
Examples:
examples/qos_sched/cfg_file.c.
int rte_cfgfile_section_num_entries_by_index ( struct rte_cfgfile *  cfg,
char *  sectionname,
int  index

Get number of entries in given config file section

The index of a section is the same as the index of its name in the result of rte_cfgfile_sections. This API can be used when there are multiple sections with the same name.

Parameters
cfgConfig file
sectionnameSection name
indexSection index
Returns
Number of entries in section on success, -1 otherwise
int rte_cfgfile_section_entries ( struct rte_cfgfile *  cfg,
const char *  sectionname,
