Petr Machata says: ================== The DCB tool will have commands that deal with buffer sizes and traffic rates. TC is another tool that has a number of such commands, and functions to support them: get_size(), get_rate/64(), s/print_size() and s/print_rate(). In this patchset, these functions are moved from TC to lib/ for possible reuse and modernized. s/print_rate() has a hidden parameter of a global variable use_iec, which made the conversion non-trivial. The parameter was made explicit, print_rate() converted to a mostly json_print-like function, and sprint_rate() retired in favor of the new print_rate. Patches #1 and #2 deal with this. The intention was to treat s/print_size() similarly, but unfortunately two use cases of sprint_size() cannot be converted to a json_print-like print_size(), and the function sprint_size() had to remain as a discouraged backdoor to print_size(). This is done in patch #3. Patch #4 then improves the code of sprint_size() a little bit. Patch #5 fixes a buglet in formatting small rates in IEC mode. Patches #6 and #7 handle a routine movement of, respectively, get_rate/64() and get_size() from tc to lib. This patchset does not actually add any new uses of these functions. A follow-up patchset will add subtools for management of DCB buffer and DCB maxrate objects that will make use of them. ==================== Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> |

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm
arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package.
2. make
The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.
3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
PAGESIZE=a4 , ie: a4 , letter ... (string)
PAGESPERPAGE=2 , ie: 1 , 2 ... (numeric)
and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
are in your path.
4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
if you have special requirements and need to point at different
kernel include files.
