However, in the long term, we should not have this kind of library in DPDK. librte_cfgfile is used by the examples ip_pipeline and qos_sched. I think the purpose of an example is to show some simple code demonstrating a feature. Examples using a configuration file are closer to a complete application. Anyway, why not use an external library like this one? https://github.com/vstakhov/libucl
