De-duplicate unidirection support
- Latency is now reported in both directions. -- For unidirection that means additional -1/-1/-1. + Changed function argument wrapping to save vertical space. + Changed trex command synthesys to save vertical space. + Fixed handling of command line arguments to avoid superfluous spaces. + More care distinguishing (0, 1) from (port_0, port_1). - Not renaming the original port arguments. Change-Id: I7b1736b594f6edea52eb07e5bc76ef52d0af92f8 Signed-off-by: Vratko Polak <vrpolak@cisco.com>
