Hi Dave,
That documentation is out of date, and the class is VPPApiClient. Here's a
quick demo script for you:
from vpp_papi import VPPApiClient
from vpp_papi import VppEnum
import os
import fnmatch
import sys
vpp_json_dir = '/usr/share/vpp/api/'
# construct a list of all the json api files
jsonfiles = []
for root, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(vpp_json_dir):
for filename in fnmatch.filter(filenames, '*.api.json'):
jsonfiles.append(os.path.join(root, filename))
vpp = VPPApiClient(apifiles=jsonfiles, server_address='/run/vpp/api.sock')
vpp.connect("test-client")
r = vpp.api.show_version()
print('VPP version is %s' % r.version)
iface_list = vpp.api.sw_interface_dump()
for iface in iface_list:
print(iface)
if iface.link_duplex ==
VppEnum.vl_api_link_duplex_t.LINK_DUPLEX_API_UNKNOWN:
## Do something with this match
pass
To your other question, vppctl is the debug CLI. You cannot issue API calls
with that tool. Take a look at *vat2*, which can send an API message to VPP
and print its reply, or use the generated API client *vpp_api_test.*
Hope that helps, groet,
Pim
