It is an application argument.

If RTE_LIBRTE_CFGFILE is defined then arguments are passed both by cfgfile and command line. Command line arguments have priority over cfgfile arguments and they override their values.

This function translate argv arguments into configuration file form and append/override current cfgfile.
Finally it parse application arguments from cfgfile. 
Intention was to parse arguments from single source (configuration file form).
