+dpdk-procinfo Application
+=========================
+
+The dpdk-procinfo application is a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) application
+that runs as a DPDK secondary process and is capable of retrieving port
+statistics, resetting port statistics and printing DPDK memory information.
+This application extends the original functionality that was supported by
+dump_cfg.
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+The application has a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   ./$(RTE_TARGET)/app/dpdk-procinfo -- -m | [-p PORTMASK] [--stats | --xstats |
+   --stats-reset | --xstats-reset]
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+**-p PORTMASK**: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure.
+
+**--stats**
+The stats parameter controls the printing of generic port statistics. If no
+port mask is specified stats are printed for all DPDK ports.
+
+**--xstats**
+The stats parameter controls the printing of extended port statistics. If no
+port mask is specified xstats are printed for all DPDK ports.
+
+**--stats-reset**
+The stats-reset parameter controls the resetting of generic port statistics. If
+no port mask is specified, the generic stats are reset for all DPDK ports.
+
+**--xstats-reset**
+The xstats-reset parameter controls the resetting of extended port statistics.
+If no port mask is specified xstats are reset for all DPDK ports.
+
+**-m**: Print DPDK memory information.
