GRCLI-ADDRESS(1)

💖 grcli-address — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair 🫶 this is grcli-address, from the General Commands Manual (section 1, obvs). it's all about IP addresses — adding them, yeeting them, showing them off. slay.

---

✨ NAME ✨

grcli-address — IP addresses. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole menu of what you can do, no gatekeeping:

address add ADDR iface IFACE
    Add an address to an interface.

address del ADDR iface IFACE
    Remove an address from an interface.

address expose ADDR iface IFACE
    Allow an interface to answer ARP/NDP for a local address.

address unexpose ADDR iface IFACE
    Stop an interface from answering ARP/NDP for a local address.

address flush (ipv4|ipv6) iface IFACE
    Remove all addresses from an interface.

address show [(ipv4|ipv6) [iface IFACE]]
    Display interface addresses.

lemme walk you through each one, girl to girl 🎀

• address add ADDR iface IFACE — giving an interface a brand new address. new address, new you ✨
• address del ADDR iface IFACE — taking that address back. not me removing it, it was never that serious 🙈
• address expose ADDR iface IFACE — letting an interface answer ARP/NDP for a local address. it's giving "yes i'll speak for her" energy 👑
• address unexpose ADDR iface IFACE — okay stop, no more answering ARP/NDP for that local address. we're done here 💀
• address flush (ipv4|ipv6) iface IFACE — nuking every address off an interface. pick your family (ipv4 or ipv6) and it's gone gone 🧹
• address show [(ipv4|ipv6) [iface IFACE]] — displaying interface addresses. the lil optional bits in brackets mean you can filter by family, and filter by interface, but you don't gotta 🌈

💜 OPTIONS 💜

the two lil placeholders that show up everywhere, explained:

• ADDR — an IP address, with a prefix length. don't forget the prefix bestie, i'm begging 😭
• IFACE — the interface name. just the name. that's her.
