✨ IPMADDR 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for ipmaddr — section 8 of the manual, which is the "system admin" section, very grown-up of her. and what does she do? she adds, changes, deletes, and displays multicast addresses. that's the whole personality. 💅

🫶 SYNOPSIS

ipmaddr [<operation>] [<args>]

literally that's it. you give her an operation, you give her some args, she does the thing. no notes. 😌

🚨 NOTE

this program is OBSOLETE. like, retired. like, moved-out-and-got-a-new-apartment obsolete. 😭

please use ip maddr instead, and go read ip-maddress(8) for the full tea. that's where the cool kids hang out now. 🧚✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION

the ipmaddr command can perform one of the following operations — one at a time, bestie, she's not doing multitasking:

  • add — add a multicast address. new address, who dis. ✨
  • change — change a multicast address. glow-up arc. 🦋
  • del — delete a multicast address. she's leaving the group chat. 💀
  • show — list multicast addresses. the full roster, the whole lineup, everyone who's here. 👑

👀 SEE ALSO

and that's the page, bestie!! 💜 this one is from way back in SEPTEMBER 2009, which is genuinely ancient — like, older than some of the people reading this, no cap. it lives in the ipmaddr corner of the manual, page 8, admin section, and it's been sitting here collecting dust ever since. go use ip maddr, she's the main character now. periodt. 🎀🌈⭐💖
