Fast path plugins runtime parameters¶

You can also provide options to fast path plugins (or modules) using the following syntax:

--mod-opt <module_name>:<argument_value>

<module_name>: Name of the module as specified in the module’s fp_mod object structure.
<argument_value>: Argument used in the module’s fp_mod object structure argv field.

Several options may be provided to the same module in a single –mod-opt option:

--mod-opt <module_name>:<argument_value1>:<argument_value2>

Example

FP_OPTIONS="--mod-opt=my-module:-a --mod-opt=my-module:1 --mod-opt=my-module:--lopt=8192"

or:

FP_OPTIONS="--mod-opt=my-module:-a:1:--lopt=8192"

The my-module fp-mod structure is updated with the following content:

Then, my-module can use the getopt functions to perform as expected with the provided arguments.
