  Is there a shell command to show a port=E2=80=99s status, such as link st=
atus and port ID etc.  For non-DPDK bound port I can use tools like =E2=80=
=9Cifconfig=E2=80=9D.  Does DPDK provide an =E2=80=9Cifconfig=E2=80=9D equi=
valent tool to check a port status?

DPDK network interfaces are not visible or controlled by kernel.
There are some ways to expose them i.e through KNI and some other proposed =
code.
