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 93 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 76 of file rte_cfgfile.h.

Function Documentation

struct rte_cfgfile* rte_cfgfile_load ( const char *  filename, int  flags  )

read

Open config file

Parameters

filename	Config file name
flags	Config file flags

Returns

Handle to configuration file on success, NULL otherwise

Examples:

examples/ip_pipeline/config_parse.c, examples/ip_pipeline/config_parse_tm.c, and examples/qos_sched/init.c.

struct rte_cfgfile* rte_cfgfile_load_with_params ( const char *  filename, int  flags, const struct rte_cfgfile_parameters *  params  )

read

Open config file with specified optional parameters.

Parameters

filename	Config file name
flags	Config file flags
params	Additional configuration attributes. Must be configured with desired values prior to invoking this API.

Returns

Handle to configuration file on success, NULL 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

cfg	Config file
sec_name	Section name
length	Maximum section name length

Returns

Number of sections

Examples:

examples/ip_pipeline/config_parse.c, examples/ip_pipeline/config_parse_tm.c, and 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

cfg	Config file
sections	Array 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_sections	Maximum number of section names to be stored in sections array

Returns

Number of populated sections names

Examples:

examples/ip_pipeline/config_parse.c.

int rte_cfgfile_has_section	(	struct rte_cfgfile *	cfg,
		const char *	sectionname
	)

Check if given section exists in config file

Parameters

cfg	Config file
sectionname	Section name

Returns

TRUE (value different than 0) if section exists, FALSE (value 0) otherwise

Examples:

examples/ip_pipeline/config_parse_tm.c, and 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

cfg	Config file
sectionname	Section name

Returns

Number of entries in section on success, -1 otherwise

Examples:

examples/ip_pipeline/config_parse.c, examples/ip_pipeline/config_parse_tm.c, and examples/qos_sched/cfg_file.c.

int rte_cfgfile_section_entries	(	struct rte_cfgfile *	cfg,
		const char *	sectionname,
		struct rte_cfgfile_entry *	entries,
		int	max_entries
	)

Get section entries as key-value pairs

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

Parameters

cfg	Config file
sectionname	Section name
entries	Pre-allocated array of at least max_entries entries where the section entries are stored as key-value pair after successful invocation
max_entries	Maximum number of section entries to be stored in entries array

Returns

Number of entries populated on success, -1 otherwise

Examples:

examples/ip_pipeline/config_parse.c, examples/ip_pipeline/config_parse_tm.c, and examples/qos_sched/cfg_file.c.

int rte_cfgfile_section_entries_by_index	(	struct rte_cfgfile *	cfg,
		int	index,
		char *	sectionname,
		struct rte_cfgfile_entry *	entries,
		int	max_entries
	)

Get section entries as key-value pairs

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

cfg	Config file
index	Section index
sectionname	Pre-allocated string of at least CFG_NAME_LEN characters where the section name is stored after successful invocation.
entries	Pre-allocated array of at least max_entries entries where the section entries are stored as key-value pair after successful invocation
max_entries	Maximum number of section entries to be stored in entries array

Returns

Number of entries populated on success, -1 otherwise

const char* rte_cfgfile_get_entry	(	struct rte_cfgfile *	cfg,
		const char *	sectionname,
		const char *	entryname
	)

Get value of the named entry in named config file section

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

Parameters

cfg	Config file
sectionname	Section name
entryname	Entry name

Returns

Entry value on success, NULL otherwise

Examples:

examples/ip_pipeline/config_parse_tm.c, and examples/qos_sched/cfg_file.c.

int rte_cfgfile_has_entry	(	struct rte_cfgfile *	cfg,
		const char *	sectionname,
		const char *	entryname
	)

Check if given entry exists in named config file section

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

Parameters

cfg	Config file
sectionname	Section name
entryname	Entry name

Returns

TRUE (value different than 0) if entry exists, FALSE (value 0) otherwise

int rte_cfgfile_close

(

struct rte_cfgfile *

cfg

)

Close config file

Parameters

cfg	Config file

Returns

0 on success, -1 otherwise

Examples:

examples/ip_pipeline/config_parse.c, examples/ip_pipeline/config_parse_tm.c, and examples/qos_sched/init.c.
