The variable optind should be reset to one not zero.
From the man page:
"The variable optind is the index of the next element to be processed in
argv. The system initializes this value to 1.
The caller can reset it to 1 to restart scanning of the same argv, or when
scanning a new argument vector.”
The problem I saw with my application was trying to parse the wrong
option, which can happen as DPDK parses the first part of the command line
and the application parses the second part. If you call getopt() multiple
times in the same execution, the behavior is not maintained when using
zero for optind.
