Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man8/ifconfig.8.gz
The man page should mention:
# ifconfig -a
inet 192.168.0.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255
How to zap ^^^^^^^^^^^ #Yes, use 0.0.0.0, but say so more clearly.
inet6 fe80::692:26ff:fed7:a6da prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
How to zap ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ # and without having to specify the
current address
RX packets 14077 bytes 16864723 (16.0 MiB)
How to clear ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ etc. totals
Also mention how to make the device just like it was at boot:
enp7s0: flags=4098<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 04:92:26:d7:a6:da txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
Yes a Google search has some answers, but the man page should say them. Thanks.
