2015-05-23pktgen: new pktgen helper functions for samples scriptsJesper Dangaard Brouer
Preparing for removing existing samples/pktgen/ scripts, and replacing these with easier to use samples. This commit provides two helper shell files, that can be "included" by shell source'ing. Namely "functions.sh" and "parameters.sh". The parameters.sh file support easy and consistant parameter parsing across the sample scripts. Usage example is printed on errors. The functions.sh file provides, three new shell functions for configuring the different components of pktgen: pg_ctrl(), pg_thread() and pg_set(). A slightly improved version of the old pgset() function is also provided for backwards compat. The new functions correspond to pktgens different components. * pg_ctrl() control "pgctrl" (/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl) * pg_thread() control the kernel threads and binding to devices * pg_set() control setup of individual devices These changes are borrowed from: https://github.com/netoptimizer/network-testing/tree/master/pktgen Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
