+config
+------
+
+Show or update config params.
+
+Config params used for changing behaviour of SPP CLI. For instance, if you
+change command prompt, you can set any of prompt with ``config`` command
+other than default ``spp >``.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ # set prompt to "$ spp"
+ spp > config prompt "$ spp"
+ Set prompt: "$ spp "
+ $ spp
+
+
+Show Config
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To show the list of config all of params, simply run ``config``.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ # show list of config
+ spp > config
+ - max_secondary: "16" # The maximum number of secondary processes
+ - sec_nfv_nof_lcores: "1" # Default num of lcores for workers of spp_nfv
+ - topo_size: "60%" # Percentage or ratio of topo
+ - sec_base_lcore: "1" # Shared lcore among secondaryes
+ ....
+
+Or show params only started from ``sec_``, add the keyword to the commnad.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ # show config started from `sec_`
+ spp > config sec_
+ - sec_vhost_cli: "" # Vhost client mode, activated if set any of values
+ - sec_mem: "-m 512" # Mem size
+ - sec_nfv_nof_lcores: "1" # Default num of lcores for workers of spp_nfv
+ - sec_base_lcore: "1" # Shared lcore among secondaryes
+ ....
+
+Set Config
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+One of typical uses of ``config`` command is to change the default params of
+other commands. ``pri; launch`` takes several options for launching secondary
+process and it is completed by using default params started from ``sec_``.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ spp > pri; launch nfv 2 # press TAB for completion
+ spp > pri; launch nfv 2 -l 1,2 -m 512 -- -n 2 -s 192.168.11.59:6666
+
+The default number of memory size is ``-m 512`` and the definition
+``sec_mem`` can be changed with ``config`` command.
+Here is an example of changing ``-m 512`` to ``--socket-mem 512,0``.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ spp > config sec_mem "--socket-mem 512,0"
+ Set sec_mem: "--socket-mem 512,0"
+
+After updating the param, expanded options is also updated.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ spp > pri; launch nfv 2 # press TAB for completion
+ spp > pri; launch nfv 2 -l 1,2 --socket-mem 512,0 -- -n 2 -s ...
