As per the code base the logic ` rte_apicounts->rx_burst_counts[lcore_id]++; and rte_apicounts->tx_burst_counts[lcore_id]++;`. This expect `apistats_init` isn primary before `proc-info`. So I have 2 quereies
1. with this logic does all dpdk-examples will be updated to invoke `apistats_init`?
2. what is mechanism in place to inform all dpdk user that `just like rte_eal_init one has to explicitly invoke apistats_init too`?
since I am not clear with the code flow, please feel free to explain the logic or expectation.

Any specific reason not to use `rte_memcpy` and invoke system library call `memcpy`

I am against the idea of iterating RTE_MAX_LCORE, as for any valid DPDK primary application the actual core count may vary between `1 to RTE_MAX_LCORE`

Suggestion: Since most of DPDK application uses dedicated core to RX and TX, would not it easier only display the lcores which does the operation. That is skip lcores where `count_delta` are 0?
