Hi, I found that the description of the `ip link add` command in the manpage
is outdated regarding the compulsory `link DEVICE` option. For instance, `ip
link help` says:
Usage: ip link add [link DEV] [ name ] NAME
...
But the manpage still says:
ip link add link DEVICE [ name ] NAME
(Trying to provide a `link` option e.g. under an LXC container can frustrate
the creation of dummy devices which don't need an actual device.)
Thanks!
