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=").

		const char *	sectionname,
		const char *	entryname,
		const char *	entryvalue
	)

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

Parameters

cfg	Config file
sectionname	Section name
entryname	Entry name to look for the value change
entryvalue	New 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

cfg	Config file structure
filename	File 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

cfg	Config file
sec_name	Section name
length	Maximum 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

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.
