Subject: [PATCH] app/test: simplify getting the current file prefix
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 17:49:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220174952.2647744-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)
Rather than opening particular fd's in the /proc directory, just use the
rte_eal_get_runtime_dir() function to derive the file-prefix in use.
Since the runtime dir call cannot return NULL, we can simplify/remove
the error handling where it's used.
