After argument parsing done by rte_eal_init(),
the remaining arguments are to be parsed by the application
by progressing in the argv array.
In this context, the first string represented by argv[0] is still
the same program name as the original argv[0],
while the next strings are the application arguments.
This is because rte_eal_init() manipulates the argv array
after EAL parsing, before returning to the application.

This note was missing in the doxygen comment of the API.
