snaplen argument would set the length of each packet
that will save to pcap file.


Hi Tianli,

Overall +1 to add snaplen argument, but please find below comments.

Also we are close to finalize the release and this is a new feature,
so this can be considered for next release.

This can be done by 'snaplen' default value is 'RTE_ETH_PCAP_SNAPSHOT_LEN'

can be used here directly.
