Yes it is used to make a copy. It is a convenient one-liner. I am a bit surprised that you need to install DPDK with busybox. The busybox systems are generally cross-built and prepared out of the box, with the host tools. However, if you feel it is important to install DPDK on such target, you are welcome to propose a patch.
