11 * RTE Argument parsing
13 * This module can be used to parse arguments whose format is
14 * key1=value1,key2=value2,key3=value3,...
16 * The same key can appear several times with the same or a different
17 * value. Indeed, the arguments are stored as a list of key/values
18 * associations and not as a dictionary.
20 * This file provides some helpers that are especially used by virtual
21 * ethernet devices at initialization for arguments parsing.
