+#define SOCKET_DIR       "/pdump_sockets"

I think the default socket directory should contain dpdk as prefix.
Like dpdk-pdump-sockets (I think dash is preferred for filenames).
I wonder whether it should be a hidden directory:
	~/.dpdk-pdump-sockets
And after all, why not simply
	~/.dpdk/

Hmm I would keep the name dpdk-pdump-sockets as library creates this only for pdump sockets.
Hidden directory just gives the advantage of not cluttering the display. If your comment is for the same I can add a . in the directory name:-).

It would allow other DPDK applications to put some files.
