NAME¶
ip - show / manipulate routing, devices, policy routing and tunnelsSYNOPSIS¶
ip [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help }
OPTIONS¶
- -V, -Version
- print the version of the ip utility and exit.
- -s, -stats, -statistics
- output more information. If the option appears twice or
more, the amount of information increases. As a rule, the information is
statistics or some time values.
- -l, -loops
- Specify maximum number of loops the 'ip addr flush' logic
will attempt before giving up. The default is 10. Zero (0) means loop
until all addresses are removed.
- -f, -family
- followed by protocol family identifier: inet,
inet6 or link ,enforce the protocol family to use. If the
option is not present, the protocol family is guessed from other
arguments. If the rest of the command line does not give enough
information to guess the family, ip falls back to the default one,
usually inet or any. link is a special family
identifier meaning that no networking protocol is involved.
- -4
- shortcut for -family inet.
- -6
- shortcut for -family inet6.
- -0
- shortcut for -family link.
- -o, -oneline
- output each record on a single line, replacing line feeds
with the '\´ character. This is convenient when you want to
count records with wc(1)
or to grep(1) the output.
- -r, -resolve
- use the system's name resolver to print DNS names instead
of host addresses.

COMMAND¶
Specifies the action to perform on the object. The set of possible actions depends on the object type.

The help command is available for all objects. It prints out a list of available commands and argument syntax conventions.HISTORY¶
