Build run

In the build run, the external program must return the names of all traffic control elements used to implement the configuration. Each line must have the following structure:

element_type element_name tc_arguments $\ldots$

element_type

is either qdisc or filter.

element_name

is a name that uniquely identifies the element in question. When creating a queuing discipline, the kernel module must have the name

sch_element_name.o

and the tc module must have the name

q_element_name.so

Likewise, for a filter, the file names are cls_element_name.o and f_element_name.so

tc_arguments

are zero or more arguments that are passed to the tc command.

Note that the external program must return at least one element, except if operating in all mode, or if it has returned the key phrase debug_target in the configuration query.
