 The dpdk-procinfo application is a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) application

+* When running ``dpdk-procinfo`` with shared library mode, it is required to

-   Stats retrieval using ``dpdk-procinfo`` is not supported for virtual devices like PCAP and TAP.
+* Since default DPDK EAL arguments for ``dpdk-procinfo`` are ``-c1, -n4 & --proc-type=secondary``,
+  It is not expected that the user passes any EAL arguments.
