ifupdown-ng(8)

📦 version 0.12.1, in debian trixie, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

💅 NAME 💅

ifupdown-ng — it's a multicall command dispatcher, bestie. That's the whole vibe. It's one binary that shows up dressed as a bunch of different little commands depending on what you call it. Main character energy fr fr. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ifupdown-ng applet [applet options...]

So you call the big one, and then you hand it an applet name, and then whatever options that applet wants. That's it. That's the whole shape of it. 🎀

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Here's the roster of applets you can summon. Available applets, and what they do:

  • ifup, ifup-ng — brings interfaces up. Like, wake up babe, you're online now. 🦋
  • ifdown, ifdown-ng — takes interfaces down. Nap time. Sorry not sorry. 😭
  • ifquery, ifquery-ng — queries interface configuration. It's the friend who just asks questions, and honestly? We need her. 🔍
  • ifparse — redisplays interface configuration. Same info, shown again, for your viewing pleasure. ✨
  • ifctrstat — displays statistics about an interface. Numbers. Receipts. The data. 📊
Quick little thing since the synopsis says applet options... — each of these applets has its own page and its own options, so go read those if you want the deep lore. iykyk 💜

That's the whole page, and yes, she's short, she's efficient, she ate. 💅

Okay and for the lil sign-off: this page is ifupdown-ng(8), sitting in section 8, and it's published under the System Manager's Manual — and the footer is just ifupdown-ng(8) again, no date on this one, so that's literally all we got. Go touch grass, then come back and bring your interfaces up. 🫶🌸
