[dpdk-dev] [RFC-PATCH-v3 1/6] kni: add function to query the name of a kni object

[Bruce Richardson]

When a KNI object is created, a name is assigned to it which is stored
internally. There is also an API function to look up a KNI object by
name, but there is no API to query the current name of an existing
KNI object. This patch adds just such an API.
