Subject: [PATCH] doc: remove reference to pcapng init function
Date: Fri, 27 May 2022 13:21:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220527132142.1336180-1-cian.ferriter@intel.com> (raw)
The rte_pcapng_init function doesn't exist, so remove it from the docs.
Also fix minor mistakes in the file.
Signed-off-by: Cian Ferriter <cian.ferriter@intel.com>
---
The rte_pcapng_init function existed in earlier versions of patches for
this file on the mailing list, but was dropped in favour of
RTE_INIT(pcapng_init) which doesn't need to be called explicitly by the
programmer, if I understand the RTE_INIT macro correctly.
