+------------
+
+This contains the API message definition. Here we only have defined
+a single one named ``myplugin_enable_disable`` and an implicit
+``myplugin_enable_disable_reply`` containing only a return value due
+to the ``autoreply`` keyword.
+
+The syntax reference for ``.api`` files can be found at VPP API Language
+
+Addressing the binary API with this message will run the handler defined
+in ``myplugin.c`` as ``vl_api_myplugin_enable_disable_t_handler``.
+It will receive a message pointer ``*mp`` which is the struct defined
+in ``myplugin.api`` and should return another message pointer ``*rmp``,
+of the reply type. That's what ``REPLY_MACRO`` does.
+
+To be noted, all API messages are in net-endian and vpp is host-endian,
+so you will need to use :
+
+* ``u32 value = ntohl(mp->value);``
+* ``rmp->value = htonl(value);``

+
+Add a plugin's GO API
+=====================
+
+In order to use your plugin's API with GO, you will need to use
+a GO client and GO definitions of the API messages that you defined
+in ``myplugin.api`` (go bindings).
+
+These two things can be found in `govpp <https://github.com/FDio/govpp>`_
+
+* The API client lives in `./core`
+* The api-generator lives in `./binapigen`
+* A sample of its output (the go bindings) for VPP's latest version lives in `./binapi`
+
+To generate the go bindings for your plugin. Assuming :
+* ``/home/vpp`` is a VPP clone with your plugin in it.
+* ``/home/controlplane`` is a go controlplane repo
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ mkdir /home/controlplane/vpp-go-bindings
+ $ git clone https://github.com/FDio/govpp>
+ $ cd govpp
+ $ BINAPI_DIR=/home/controlplane/vpp-go-bindings VPP_DIR=/home/vpp make gen-binapi-from-code
+
+This will generate the go-bindings in ``/home/controlplane/vpp-go-bindings``
+For example ``vpp-go-bindings/myplugin/myplugin.ba.go`` will contain :
+
+.. code-block:: go
+
+ // MypluginEnableDisable defines message 'myplugin_enable_disable'.
+ type MypluginEnableDisable struct {
+ EnableDisable bool `binapi:"bool,name=enable_disable" json:"enable_disable,omitempty"`
+ SwIfIndex interface_types.InterfaceIndex `binapi:"interface_index,name=sw_if_index" json:"sw_if_index,omitempty"`
+ }
+
+
+You can then use the generated go bindings in your go code like this :
+
+.. code-block:: go
+
+ package main
+
+ import (
+ "fmt"
+ "git.fd.io/govpp.git"
+ "git.fd.io/govpp.git/binapi/interfaces"
+ "git.fd.io/govpp.git/binapi/vpe"
+
+ "myplugin.io/controlplane/vpp-go-bindings/myplugin/myplugin"
+ )
+
+ func main() {
+ // Connect to VPP
+ conn, _ := govpp.Connect("/run/vpp/api.sock")
+ defer conn.Disconnect()
+
+ // Open channel
+ ch, _ := conn.NewAPIChannel()
+ defer ch.Close()
+
+ request := &vpe.MypluginEnableDisable{
+ EnableDisable: true,
+ }
+ reply := &vpe.MypluginEnableDisableReply{}
+
+ err := ch.SendRequest(request).ReceiveReply(reply)
+ if err != nil {
+ fmt.Errorf("SendRequest: %w\n", err)
+ }
+ }
+
+As you will need to import (or ``go get "git.fd.io/govpp.git"``) to leverage the API
+client in your code, you might want to use the api-generator directly from the
+clone ``go build`` fetches for you. You can do this with :
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ export GOVPP_DIR=$(go list -f '{{.Dir}}' -m git.fd.io/govpp.git)
+ $ cd $GOVPP_DIR && go build -o /some/bin/dir ./cmd/binapi-generator
+ $ # instead of make gen-binapi-from-code you can rewrite the code to target
+ $ # your version ./binapi-generator
