uint8_trte_rawdev_count(void)
Get the total number of raw devices that have been successfully initialised.
Returns
The total number of usable raw devices.
uint16_trte_rawdev_get_dev_id(constchar*name)
Get the device identifier for the named raw device.
Parametersname Raw device name to select the raw device identifier.
Returns
Returns raw device identifier on success.
• <0: Failure to find named raw device.
intrte_rawdev_socket_id(uint16_tdev_id)
Return the NUMA socket to which a device is connected.
Parametersdev_id The identifier of the device.
Returns
The NUMA socket id to which the device is connected or a default of zero if the socket could not be
determined. -(-EINVAL) dev_id value is out of range.
intrte_rawdev_info_get(uint16_tdev_id,structrte_rawdev_info*dev_info,size_tdev_private_size)
Retrieve the contextual information of a raw device.
Parametersdev_id The identifier of the device.
dev_info A pointer to a structure of type rte_rawdev_info to be filled with the contextual
information of the device. The dev_info->dev_private field should point to an appropriate buffer
space for holding the device- specific info for that hardware. If the dev_private field is set to
NULL, then the device-specific info function will not be called and only basic information about the
device will be returned. This can be used to safely query the type of a rawdev instance without
needing to know the size of the private data to return.
dev_private_size The length of the memory space pointed to by dev_private in dev_info. This should be
set to the size of the expected private structure to be returned, and may be checked by drivers to
ensure the expected struct type is provided.
Returns
• 0: Success, driver updates the contextual information of the raw device
• <0: Error code returned by the driver info get function.
intrte_rawdev_configure(uint16_tdev_id,structrte_rawdev_info*dev_conf,size_tdev_private_size)
Configure a raw device.
This function must be invoked first before any other function in the API. This function can also be re-
invoked when a device is in the stopped state.
The caller may use rte_rawdev_info_get() to get the capability of each resources available for this raw
device.
Parametersdev_id The identifier of the device to configure.
dev_conf The raw device configuration structure encapsulated into rte_rawdev_info object. It is
assumed that the opaque object has enough information which the driver/implementation can use to
configure the device. It is also assumed that once the configuration is done, a queue_id type field
can be used to refer to some arbitrary internal representation of a queue.
dev_private_size The length of the memory space pointed to by dev_private in dev_info. This should be
set to the size of the expected private structure to be used by the driver, and may be checked by
drivers to ensure the expected struct type is provided.
Returns
• 0: Success, device configured.
• <0: Error code returned by the driver configuration function.
intrte_rawdev_queue_conf_get(uint16_tdev_id,uint16_tqueue_id,rte_rawdev_obj_tqueue_conf,size_tqueue_conf_size)
Retrieve the current configuration information of a raw queue designated by its queue_id from the raw
driver for a raw device.
This function intended to be used in conjunction with rte_raw_queue_setup() where caller needs to set up
the queue by overriding few default values.
Parametersdev_id The identifier of the device.
queue_id The index of the raw queue to get the configuration information. The value must be in the
range [0, nb_raw_queues - 1] previously supplied to rte_rawdev_configure().
queue_conf The pointer to the default raw queue configuration data.
queue_conf_size The size of the structure pointed to by queue_conf
Returns
• 0: Success, driver updates the default raw queue configuration data.
• <0: Error code returned by the driver info get function.

object can be a queue or any other contextual information necessary for the device to enqueue buffers.
Parametersdev_id The identifier of the device to configure.
buffers Collection of buffers for enqueuing
count Count of buffers to enqueue
context Opaque context information.
Returns
>=0 for buffers enqueued !0 for failure. Whether partial enqueue is failure or success is defined

intrte_rawdev_dequeue_buffers(uint16_tdev_id,structrte_rawdev_buf**buffers,unsignedintcount,rte_rawdev_obj_tcontext)
Dequeue a stream of buffers from the device.
Rather than specifying a queue, this API passes along an opaque object to the driver implementation. That
object can be a queue or any other contextual information necessary for the device to dequeue buffers.
Application should have allocated enough space to store count response buffers. Releasing buffers
dequeued is responsibility of the application.
Parametersdev_id The identifier of the device to configure.
buffers Collection of buffers dequeued
count Max buffers expected to be dequeued
context Opaque context information.
Returns
>=0 for buffers dequeued !0 for failure. Whether partial enqueue is failure or success is defined

xstats_names Block of memory to insert names into. Must be at least size in capacity. If set to NULL,
function returns required capacity.
size Capacity of xstats_names (number of names).
Returns
• positive value lower or equal to size: success. The return value is the number of entries filled in
the stats table.
• positive value higher than size: error, the given statistics table is too small. The return value
corresponds to the size that should be given to succeed. The entries in the table are not valid and
shall not be used by the caller.
• negative value on error: -ENODEV for invalid dev_id -ENOTSUP if the device doesn't support this
function.
intrte_rawdev_xstats_get(uint16_tdev_id,constunsignedintids[],uint64_tvalues[],unsignedintn)
Retrieve extended statistics of a raw device.
Parametersdev_id The identifier of the device.
ids The id numbers of the stats to get. The ids can be got from the stat position in the stat list
from rte_rawdev_get_xstats_names(), or by using rte_rawdev_get_xstats_by_name()
values The values for each stats request by ID.
n The number of stats requested
Returns
• positive value: number of stat entries filled into the values array
• negative value on error: -ENODEV for invalid dev_id -ENOTSUP if the device doesn't support this
function.
uint64_trte_rawdev_xstats_by_name_get(uint16_tdev_id,constchar*name,unsignedint*id)
Retrieve the value of a single stat by requesting it by name.
Parametersdev_id The identifier of the device

names for the stat. If the stat cannot be found, the id returned will be (unsigned)-1.
Returns
• positive value or zero: the stat value
• negative value: -EINVAL if stat not found, -ENOTSUP if not supported.
