40 * RTE Argument parsing
42 * This module can be used to parse arguments whose format is
43 * key1=value1,key2=value2,key3=value3,...
45 * The same key can appear several times with the same or a different
46 * value. Indeed, the arguments are stored as a list of key/values
47 * associations and not as a dictionary.
49 * This file provides some helpers that are especially used by virtual
50 * ethernet devices at initialization for arguments parsing.
