Public bug reported:
The "bridge" command gives the following help message:
# bridge
Usage: bridge [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help }
bridge [ -force ] -batch filename
where OBJECT := { link | fdb | mdb | vlan | monitor }
OPTIONS := { -V[ersion] | -s[tatistics] | -d[etails] |
-o[neline] | -t[imestamp] | -n[etns] name |
-c[ompressvlans] -color -p[retty] -j[son] }
The implication is that "-c" is a shortcut for "-compressvlans".
However this is not true. "-c" or "-co" act the same as "-color". But
you can give "-com" as a shorthand for "-compressvlans".
Suggested change to help text:
-com[pressvlans] | -c[olor] | -p[retty] | -j[son] }
iproute2 version: 5.15.0-1ubuntu2
Ubuntu version: 22.04.5
Aside: it's not clear to me how to report bugs directly upstream for
iproute2, which is why I'm reporting it here.
