Detailed Description
     RTE PMD Registration Interface

     This file manages the list of device drivers.

     Definition in file rte_dev.h.

Typedef Documentation
   typedef int(* rte_dev_cmp_t) (const struct rte_device *dev, const void *data)

     Device comparison function.

     This type of function is used to compare an rte_device with arbitrary data.

     Parameters
	 dev Device handle.
	 data  Data to compare against. The type of this parameter is determined
	 by the kind of comparison performed by the function.

     Returns
	 0 if the device matches the data. !0 if the device does not  match.  <0
	 if  ordering  is  possible and the device is lower than the data. >0 if
	 ordering is possible and the device is greater than the data.

     Definition at line 233 of file rte_dev.h.

   typedef void *(* rte_dev_iterate_t) (const void *start, const  char	*devstr,
     const struct rte_dev_iterator *it)
     Device iteration function.

     Find the next device matching properties passed in parameters. The function
     takes  an additional start parameter, that is used as starting context when
     relevant.

     The function returns the current element  in  the	iteration.  This  return
     value  will potentially be used as a start parameter in subsequent calls to
     the function.

     The additional iterator parameter is only there if a  specific  implementa-
     tion  needs  additional  context.	It must not be modified by the iteration
     function itself.

     Parameters
	 start Starting iteration context.
	 devstr Device description string.
	 it Device iterator.

     Returns
	 The address of the current  element  matching	the  device  description
	 string.

     Definition at line 278 of file rte_dev.h.

   int	rte_eal_hotplug_add  (const  char * busname, const char * devname, const
     char * drvargs)
     Hotplug add a given device to a specific bus.

     In multi-process, it will request other processes to add the same device. A
     failure, in any process, will rollback the action

     Parameters

	 0 on success, negative on error.

   int rte_dev_iterator_init (struct rte_dev_iterator * it, const char * str)
     Initializes a device iterator.

     This  iterator  allows accessing a list of devices matching a criteria. The
     device matching is made among all buses and classes  currently  registered,
     filtered by the device description given as parameter.

     This  function  will not allocate any memory. It is safe to stop the itera-
     tion at any moment and let the iterator go out of context.

     Returns
	 0 on successful initialization. <0 on error.

     Parameters
	 it Device iterator handle.

     Returns
	 An  rte_device handle if found. NULL if an error occurred (rte_errno is
	 set). NULL if no device could be found (rte_errno is not set).
