The Main Function
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ``argc`` and ``argv`` arguments are provided to the ``rte_eal_init()``
function. The value returned is the number of parsed arguments:
-.. code-block:: c
-
- int ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
- if (ret < 0)
- rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Error with EAL initialization\n");
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_classify/flow_classify.c
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Initialize the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL). 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of initialization of EAL.
+ :dedent: 1
It then parses the flow_classify application arguments
-.. code-block:: c
-
- ret = parse_args(argc, argv);
- if (ret < 0)
- rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Invalid flow_classify parameters\n");
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_classify/flow_classify.c
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Parse application arguments (after the EAL ones). 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of parse application arguments.
+ :dedent: 1
The ``main()`` function also allocates a mempool to hold the mbufs
(Message Buffers) used by the application:
-.. code-block:: c
-
- mbuf_pool = rte_mempool_create("MBUF_POOL",
- NUM_MBUFS * nb_ports,
- MBUF_SIZE,
- MBUF_CACHE_SIZE,
- sizeof(struct rte_pktmbuf_pool_private),
- rte_pktmbuf_pool_init, NULL,
- rte_pktmbuf_init, NULL,
- rte_socket_id(),
- 0);
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/flow_classify/flow_classify.c
+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Creates a new mempool in memory to hold the mbufs. 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of creation of new mempool in memory.
+ :dedent: 1
mbufs are the packet buffer structure used by DPDK. They are explained in
detail in the "Mbuf Library" section of the *DPDK Programmer's Guide*.
The ``main()`` function also initializes all the ports using the user defined
``port_init()`` function which is explained in the next section:
-.. code-block:: c
-
- RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV(portid) {
- if (port_init(portid, mbuf_pool) != 0) {
- rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
- "Cannot init port %" PRIu8 "\n", portid);
- }
- }

+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Initialize all ports. 8<
+ :end-before: >8 End of initialization of all ports.

The ``main()`` function creates the ``flow classifier object`` and adds an ``ACL
table`` to the flow classifier.

It then reads the ipv4_rules_file.txt file and initialises the parameters for
the ``rte_flow_classify_table_entry_add`` API.
This API adds a rule to the ACL table.
-.. code-block:: c
-
- if (add_rules(parm_config.rule_ipv4_name)) {
- rte_flow_classifier_free(cls_app->cls);
- rte_free(cls_app);

Once the initialization is complete, the application is ready to launch a
function on an lcore. In this example ``lcore_main()`` is called on a single
The main functional part of the port initialization used in the Basic
Forwarding application is shown below:
-.. code-block:: c
-
- static inline int
- port_init(uint8_t port, struct rte_mempool *mbuf_pool)
- {
- struct rte_eth_conf port_conf = port_conf_default;
- const uint16_t rx_rings = 1, tx_rings = 1;
- struct ether_addr addr;

- uint16_t q;
-
- if (port >= rte_eth_dev_count())
- return -1;
-
- /* Configure the Ethernet device. */
- retval = rte_eth_dev_configure(port, rx_rings, tx_rings, &port_conf);
- if (retval != 0)
- return retval;
-
- /* Allocate and set up 1 RX queue per Ethernet port. */
- for (q = 0; q < rx_rings; q++) {
- retval = rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(port, q, RX_RING_SIZE,
- rte_eth_dev_socket_id(port), NULL, mbuf_pool);
- if (retval < 0)
- return retval;
- }
-
- /* Allocate and set up 1 TX queue per Ethernet port. */
- for (q = 0; q < tx_rings; q++) {
- retval = rte_eth_tx_queue_setup(port, q, TX_RING_SIZE,
- rte_eth_dev_socket_id(port), NULL);
- if (retval < 0)
- return retval;
- }

The Ethernet ports are configured with default settings using the
-``rte_eth_dev_configure()`` function and the ``port_conf_default`` struct.

-
- static const struct rte_eth_conf port_conf_default = {
- .rxmode = { .max_rx_pkt_len = ETHER_MAX_LEN }

For this example the ports are set up with 1 RX and 1 TX queue using the
``rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()`` and ``rte_eth_tx_queue_setup()`` functions.
The Ethernet port is then started:
-.. code-block:: c
-
- retval = rte_eth_dev_start(port);

+ :language: c
+ :start-after: Start the Ethernet port. 8<

Finally the RX port is set in promiscuous mode:
.. code-block:: c
- rte_eth_promiscuous_enable(port);
+ retval = rte_eth_promiscuous_enable(port);
