  This patch adds the parser file. This is used to parse any
messages that are received on any of the client sockets.

Currently, the unregister functionality works using the parser.
Functionality relating to getting statistic values for certain ports
will be added in a subsequent patch, however the parsing involved
for that command is added in this patch.

Some of the parser code included is in preparation for future
functionality, that is not implemented yet in this patchset.

I see LOG_WARN being always preceded by "Warning - ",
LOG_ERR by "Error - ", and so on.

Wouldn't it be simpler to have the prefix inserted systematically? I
have seen at least one mistake on a LOG_ERR message (in another patch).

Also Shreyansh already remarked about it, but you may have doubled the
newline.

An enum would be cleaner here, I don't see a reason for
these values to be defines.

struct rte_telemetry_command might be a better name.

command.command_text? Why not simply text?

Function pointers should be typedef for readability.

blank line missing here.
However, it seems ret is never actually used.
All checks could be performed against the function calls directly,
as the return value is never used itself, -1 is always returned.

Coding style guide dictates local variables to be defined at start of
scope.

This variable is not used afterward, why not write:

if (rte_telemetry_unregister_client(telemetry,
                                json_string_value(client_path))) {
    TELEMETRY_LOG_ERR("Could not unregister client");
    goto einval_fail;
}

Previous functions used gotos for dealing with errors, this one repeats
the pattern. Seems like an oversight.

Declare those at start of scope.

Some previous errors are repeated afterward but I won't point each of
them.

It would be better to provide the user with a list of requested names
that are invalid.

You are not freeing "names" here, nor are you returning it.

The retrieved IDs here are not used, is it because this function is
extended in another patch?

You also already use rte_metrics_get_names() to generate a request, that
will itself do the same, compare the two and assign IDs according to
their index in the list.

This could probably be written in a simpler and more concise way.

This is rather awkward to divide the patches this way. It is harder
right now to judge this function and how stat_names_to_ids is
implemented, because the finality of it is not yet available.

It was not necessary to add this command alongside the others, it could
come later.

These command names are unnecessarily verbose, while still not saying
exactly what the commands are.

"clients" only supports "DELETE", but the function name does not reflect
that.  "ports" only supports "GET", but this is not explicit.
And on the other hand,
"rte_telemetry_command_ports_stats_values_by_name" is just too much.

The coding style is wrong as well.

With the proper definitions, something like this could be written:

struct rte_telemetry_command commands[] = {
        {
                .text = "client",
                .fn = {
                        [DELETE] = rte_tlm_client_unregister,
                },
        },
        {
                .text = "port",
                .fn = {
                        [GET] = rte_tlm_port_get,
                },
        },
        ...
};

RTE_DIM() should be used for this.

> +	uint32_t i;

Here action should be checked against the enum previously described,
verifying that it is within range.

With the above format, this would become

        if (strcmp(command, commands[i].text) == 0) {
            rte_telemetry_command_cb fn;

            fn = commands[i].fn[action];
            if (fn == NULL) {
                    /* Error invalid command */
                    return -1;
            } else if (fn(telemetry, data)) {
                    /* Error log would already be provided
                     * by the function itself.
                     */
                    return -1;
            }
            return 0;
        }
