Having used it recently on an app I was playing with for\ntesting, I decided the situation can potentially be improved with it\nby use of a script to produce the boilerplate when given a simple\nlist of commands the user wants to add to the app.\n\nThis is the result of that effort. Sending it here as a rough-draft to\nget feedback on whether this is worth including in DPDK itself.\nHopefully others may find it of use.\n\nBruce Richardson (1):\n cmdline/dpdk-cmdline-gen: generate boilerplate for simple cmds\n\n lib/cmdline/dpdk-cmdline-gen.py | 143 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n 1 file changed, 143 insertions(+)\n create mode 100755 lib/cmdline/dpdk-cmdline-gen.py\n\n--\n2.39.2" }
