Parameters
ops_name
Returns
  • On success, zero.
  • On failure, a negative value.

◆ rte_mbuf_platform_mempool_ops()

const char* rte_mbuf_platform_mempool_ops ( void  )

Get configured platform supported pktmbuf HW mempool ops name

This function returns the platform supported mempool ops name.

Returns
  • On success, platform pool ops name.
  • On failure, NULL.

◆ rte_mbuf_set_user_mempool_ops()

int rte_mbuf_set_user_mempool_ops ( const char *  ops_name)
