Instead of just saying on single cores or on unique cores, worth mentioning  uses the 1st core of eal coremask/corelist for single case.
For multi case uses the cores except the 1st in one in coremask?

In the command if you pass anything --m/--mul/--mult/multi the command still succeeds..  Did you check the reason for that?

Thanks,
