With wrappers, we control API and semantics, which is limited compared to the underlying syscalls. It is also cleaner not to export non-RTE symbols from DPDK libraries. Regarding invasion: it requires little change, factoring out some common error logging in the process. > Outside of that - do these symbols really require experimental status. > Are they really likely to change? Indeed, the wrappers should be internal, not experimental. Will fix in v6. -- Dmitry Kozlyuk
