Warning

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

Check CPU support for various intrinsics at runtime.

Parameters

intrinsics Pointer to a structure to be filled.

Get name of CPU flag

Parameters

feature CPU flag ID

Returns

flag name NULL if flag ID is invalid

Function for checking a CPU flag availability

Parameters

feature CPU flag to query CPU for

Returns

This function checks that the currently used CPU supports the CPU features that were specified at compile time. It is called automatically within the EAL, so does not need to be used by applications. This version returns a result so that decisions may be made (for instance, graceful shutdowns).

This function attempts to retrieve a value from the auxiliary vector. If it is unsuccessful, the result will be 0, and errno will be set.

Returns

A value from the auxiliary vector. When the value is 0, check errno to determine if an error occurred.

This function retrieves a value from the auxiliary vector, and compares it as a string against the value retrieved.

Returns

The result of calling strcmp() against the value retrieved from the auxiliary vector. When the value is 0 (meaning a match is found), check errno to determine if an error occurred.
