Some improvements 1) Please squash 14/14 patch to 1/14. 2) Ctrl - C doesn't work which is a serious issue. We have to kill it via kill -9 <pid> from a separate window. This is probably because of command line library. 3). In case app launch fails due to error, it will leave terminal into a bad state until "reset" command is executed. This might also be because of command line library. 4). Just a wishlist: If on terminal console I could do a tab and get commands help, just like testpmd console.
