This repository has submodules; after cloning it you should run git submodule update --init --recursive.

See examples for how to use the PI.

• libjudy-dev
• libreadline-dev

To include p4runtime.proto in the build, please run configure with --with-proto.

For now the PI CLI supports an experimental version of table_add and table_delete. Because these two functions have been implemented in the bmv2 PI implementation, you can test the PI CLI with the bmv2 simple_switch. Assuming bmv2 is installed on your system, build the PI and the CLI with ./configure --with-bmv2 && make. You can then experiment with the following commands:

simple_switch tests/testdata/simple_router.json  // to start the switch
./CLI/pi_CLI_bmv2 tests/testdata/simple_router.json  // to start the CLI
PI CLI> assign_device 0 0 -- port=9090  // 0 0 : device id + config id
PI CLI> table_add ipv4_lpm 10.0.0.1/24 => set_nhop 10.0.0.1 1
PI CLI> table_dump ipv4_lpm
PI CLI> table_delete ipv4_lpm <handle returned by table_add>

All contributed code must pass the style checker, which can be run with ./tools/check_style.sh. If the style checker fails because of a C file, you can format this C file with ./tools/clang_format_check.py -s Google -i <file>.
