The most commonly used EAL parameter involves specifying which logical CPU cores should be used for processing. This can be specified in any of the following ways.

  -c COREMASK         Hexadecimal bitmask of cores to run on
  -l CORELIST         List of cores to run on
                      The argument format is <c1>[-c2][,c3[-c4],...]
                      where c1, c2, etc are core indexes between 0 and 128
  --lcores COREMAP    Map lcore set to physical cpu set
                      The argument format is
                            '<lcores[@cpus]>[<,lcores[@cpus]>...]'
                      lcores and cpus list are grouped by '(' and ')'
                      Within the group, '-' is used for range separator,
                      ',' is used for single number separator.
                      '( )' can be omitted for single element group,
                      '@' can be omitted if cpus and lcores have the same value
