-  Usage: dpdk-version.sh
-
-  Locate the rte_version.h file and parse out the version information.
-
-  If RTE_SDK is set, then it is used to locate the file. If the
-  RTE_SDK variable is not set then the current working directory
-  is used.
-
-  The default output of the version is 'DPDK Version: YY.MM.MINOR'
-	e.g. 'dpdk-version.sh' gives 'DPDK Version: 17.08.0'
-
-  Options: Only one option can be used at a time, the only exception
-           is the '-v' option which must be first followed by any
-           other option.
-
-  '-h' prints usage messages
-
-  '-v' print out the location of the file used, must be first option
-    e.g. 'dpdk-version.sh -v -l' gives file path plus '-l' output.
-
-  '-l' prints out the full version string
-	e.g. 'dpdk-version.sh -l' gives 'DPDK-17.08.0-rc0'
-
-  '-s' prints a shorter version string
-	e.g. 'dpdk-version.sh -s' gives '17.08.0'
-
-  '-yy' prints the year number
-  '-mm' prints the month number
-  '-mi' prints the minor number
-  '-rc' prints the suffix string
-
-  '-m' prints out information is comma delimited format.
-	e.g. 'dpdk-version.sh -m' give 'DPDK,17,08,0,-rc0'
-
-  '-p' prints out a Python readable format of the version.
-	e.g. 'dpdk-version.sh -m' gives
-
-	version = {
-		'prefix': 'DPDK',
-		'year': '17',
-		'month': '08',
-		'minor': '0',
