.SH SYNOPSIS

.INDENT 3.5

.SH DESCRIPTION
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
reloads network \fBinterfaces(5)\fP file \fB/etc/network/interfaces\fP
or config file defined in ifupdown2.conf file.
.sp
Runs \fBifdown\fP on interfaces that were removed from the file and
subsequently runs \fBifup\fP on all interfaces.
.sp
When removing an interface (iface section) from the interfaces file
please make sure all its references are removed as well. Similarly
when renaming an interface, please make sure all references to the
interface are changed to the new name. Renaming an interface
in the interfaces file results in ifdown of the old and ifup
of the interface with the new name.
.sp
If you do not wish to execute \fBdown\fP on any interfaces, but only \fBup\fP on
interfaces that were already \fBup\fP, please see the \fB\-\-currently\-up\fP
option below.

.TP
.B \-h\fP,\fB  \-\-help
show this help message and exit
.TP
.B \-a\fP,\fB  \-\-all
process all interfaces marked "auto"
.TP
.B \-v\fP,\fB  \-\-verbose
verbose
.TP
.B \-d\fP,\fB  \-\-debug
output debug info
.TP
.B \-f\fP,\fB  \-\-force
force run all operations
.TP
.B \-c\fP,\fB  \-\-currently\-up
only reload auto and other interfaces that are
currently up. This can be used as a non\-disruptive
alternative to \-a because it will not down any
interfaces
.TP
.BI \-X \ EXCLUDEPATS\fP,\fB \ \-\-exclude \ EXCLUDEPATS
Exclude interfaces from the list of interfaces to
operate on. Can be specified multiple times
If the excluded interface has dependent interfaces,
(e.g. a bridge or a bond with multiple enslaved interfaces)
then each dependent interface must be specified in order
to be excluded.
.TP
.B \-s\fP,\fB  \-\-syntax\-check
Only run the interfaces file parser
