From: Keith Wiles Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2017 19:13:40 +0000 (-0800) Subject: doc: use corelist instead of coremask X-Git-Tag: spdx-start~4444 X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=35b09d76f89e7d5a4f38a2926cf6915028ed1e56;p=dpdk.git doc: use corelist instead of coremask The coremask option in DPDK is difficult to use and we should be promoting the use of the corelist (-l) option. The patch adjusts the docs to use -l EAL option instead of the -c option. The patch only changes the docs and not the code as the -c option will continue to exist unless it is removed in the future. The -c option should be kept to maintain backward compatibility.
