Subject: [dpdk-dev] [RFC v2 04/14] net: add rte prefix to ether functions
Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2019 10:32:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190410083218.17531-5-olivier.matz@6wind.com> (raw)
Message-ID: <20190410083208.TvZqmu_6w8WeIt8Xk1OtOuzdfjnj2cTruk6DvmJdm4Q@z> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190410083218.17531-1-olivier.matz@6wind.com>

Add 'rte_' prefix to functions:
- rename is_same_ether_addr() as rte_is_same_ether_addr().
- rename is_zero_ether_addr() as rte_is_zero_ether_addr().
- rename is_unicast_ether_addr() as rte_is_unicast_ether_addr().
- rename is_multicast_ether_addr() as rte_is_multicast_ether_addr().
- rename is_broadcast_ether_addr() as rte_is_broadcast_ether_addr().
- rename is_universal_ether_addr() as rte_is_universal_ether_addr().
- rename is_local_admin_ether_addr() as rte_is_local_admin_ether_addr().
- rename is_valid_assigned_ether_addr() as rte_is_valid_assigned_ether_addr().
- rename eth_random_addr() as rte_eth_random_addr().
- rename ether_addr_copy() as rte_ether_addr_copy().
- rename ether_format_addr() as rte_ether_format_addr().
