a given network interface at once. This may be used to change the priority of
routing IPv4 traffic over the interface. Lower metrics correlate with higher
priorities.
ifmetric uses the Linux NETLINK interface to manipulate the routes. Because of
that it is compatible with routes created with the new iproute2 utility.

should be the new metric. If ommited the metric 0 (highest) is used.
