Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 2/5] eal: define the EAL parameters in argparse format
Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2025 17:20:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250708172039.183989-3-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250708172039.183989-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com>
This table should allow us to parse all the eal args into a single
structure for later parsing in a fixed-order field basis. For those
elements that take multiple values, define a TAILQ and a callback to
process those elements.
