API

There are many libraries, so their headers may be grouped by topics:

• device: dev, ethdev, ethctrl, devargs, bond, vhost, KNI, PCI, PCI IDs

• memory: memseg, memzone, mempool, malloc, memcpy

• timers: cycles, timer, alarm

• locks: atomic, rwlock, spinlock

• CPU arch: branch prediction, cache prefetch, byte order, CPU flags

• CPU multicore: interrupts, launch, lcore, per-lcore, power/freq

• layers: ethernet, ARP, ICMP, IP, SCTP, TCP, UDP, frag/reass, LPM IPv4 route, LPM IPv6 route, ACL

• QoS: metering, scheduler, RED congestion

• hashes: hash, jhash, thash, FBK hash, CRC hash

• containers: mbuf, ring, distributor, reorder, tailq, bitmap, ivshmem

• packet framework:
  • port: ethdev, ring, frag, reass, sched, src/sink
  • table: lpm IPv4, lpm IPv6, ACL, hash, array, stub
  • pipeline

• basic: approx fraction, random, config file, key/value args, string

• debug: jobstats, hexdump, debug, log, warnings, errno

• misc: EAL config, common, ABI compat, version
