Hi Viacheslav,

There is already another testpmd command that displays offloads, which is more
dynamic and I think better solution:
"show port <port_id> tx_offload capabilities"
"show port <port_id> tx_offload configuration"
"show port <port_id> rx_offload capabilities"
"show port <port_id> rx_offload configuration"

As far as I can see 'metadata' already supported by these commands, can you
please confirm?

And instead of improving it, what do you think dropping the duplicated command
"show port cap <port_id>|all" ?
