I think we need the long options to match the short options just because it makes sense to me to have long options for all short options. Take the case of -v, just about everyone else has a ?version long-option, but we do not. The real reason is to allow for DPDK configuration via a configuration file and I wanted to use the same strings for the config file variables as the command line options. I figured I would add the long options now as they do not effect the configuration file patch. > >/Bruce > > Regards, Keith
