[dpdk-dev] rte_mbuf - contiguous ?

[Jose Gavine Cueto]

Thomas,

Thank you for the information.  Because I would like to copy an rte_mbuf to
a memory mapped file for an application.  Is there some dpdk API for this
copy operation (linear/nonlinear) or are these left with the application
developers ?

Thanks,
Pepe
