-The following are the EAL command-line options that can be used in conjunction with the testpmd,
-or any other DPDK application.
-See the DPDK Getting Started Guides for more information on these options.
-
-*   ``-c COREMASK``
-
-    Set the hexadecimal bitmask of the cores to run on.
-
-*   ``-l CORELIST``
-
-    List of cores to run on
-
-    The argument format is ``<c1>[-c2][,c3[-c4],...]``
-    where ``c1``, ``c2``, etc are core indexes between 0 and 128.
-
-*   ``--lcores COREMAP``
-
-    Map lcore set to physical cpu set
-
-    The argument format is::
-
-       <lcores[@cpus]>[<,lcores[@cpus]>...]
-
-    Lcore and CPU lists are grouped by ``(`` and ``)`` Within the group.
-    The ``-`` character is used as a range separator and ``,`` is used as a single number separator.
-    The grouping ``()`` can be omitted for single element group.
-    The ``@`` can be omitted if cpus and lcores have the same value.
