I compiled it as shared library and I was going to load it using "-d" option. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I walked through DPDK source code I found out that "-d" options does hardly anything (please correct me if I am wrong). Could you explain me what was initial purpose of "-d" option? If the option is obsolete / not implemented / whatever, this information should be placed in documentation. Current description is IHMO misleading. I wonder if there is any other way of using my own PMD expect linking binary with it. Best regards
