The below path error can occur:

# ./xdp2skb_meta.sh --dev eth0 --list
./xdp2skb_meta.sh: line 61: /usr/sbin/tc: No such file or directory

# which tc
/sbin/tc

So use 'which' command instead of absolute path of tc and ip

This is not a good solution, as 'which' can return something else.
E.g. on my system I've aliased 'tc' to 'sudo tc', and `which tc` returns:

$ which tc
alias tc='sudo tc'
/usr/bin/sudo

The easiest solution is to simply do:

export TC=tc
export IP=ip

The more fancy solution is to allow callers to redefine $IP and $TC:

[ -z "$TC" ] && TC=tc
[ -z "$IP" ] && IP=ip

Yep, you are right, I'll change it.

And then you should also fix the use of 'basename', see below patch...

I thought it'd be fine to leave 'basename' as it is,
because if callers redefine TC=/home/taeung/tc and give
the options --verbose or --dry-run, 'basename' can more tidily show outputs.

The 'basename' does not work correctly if e.g. TC='sudo tc'.

Below output is with 'basename' removed, else it would say "sudo qdisc del ..."

TC='sudo tc' IP='sudo ip' ./xdp2skb_meta.sh -v --dev mlx5p1 --dry-run
# Device set to: DEV=mlx5p1
# Dry-run mode: enable VERBOSE and don't call TC+IP
sudo tc qdisc del dev mlx5p1 clsact
sudo tc qdisc add dev mlx5p1 clsact
sudo tc filter add dev mlx5p1 ingress prio 1 handle 1 bpf da obj ./xdp2skb_meta_kern.o sec tc_mark
# Flush XDP on device: mlx5p1
sudo ip link set dev mlx5p1 xdp off
sudo ip link set dev mlx5p1 xdp obj ./xdp2skb_meta_kern.o sec xdp_mark



Oops, right. I missed the alias case.

But it seems to be trivial, I'll resend this patch as v2 based on your
comment !

Thx, already ACKed it :-)
