[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 01/29] ethdev: expose flow API error helper

Wed Oct 11 16:35:03 CEST 2017


rte_flow_error_set() is a convenient helper to initialize error objects.

Since there is no fundamental reason to prevent applications from using it,
expose it through the public interface after modifying its return value
from positive to negative. This is done for consistency with the rest of
the public interface.

Documentation is updated accordingly.
