Hello Stephen,
Basic question, what would be the impact of increasing the default from 512
to 1k or 2k? Do we get a large memory footprint increase, or is it just an
extra 1 or 2k of memory used?
/Bruce
Increasing the RDLINE_BUF_SIZE size will also increase application memory usage.
However, that memory increase was required, because application could not fit
it's command line into the default buffer.
Applications that can run with the default RDLINE_BUF_SIZE are not affected by
that patch.

The buffer is transient so should have little impact.
Why not just use LINE_MAX from limits.h?
The LINE_MAX value will be enough even for the template API testpmd commands.
If there will be no objections, I'll set LINE_MAX as the new
RDLINE_BUF_SIZE.
Regards,
Gregory
