NAME

       ifparse - redisplay interface configuration in different formats

SYNOPSIS

       ifparse [<options>...] <interfaces...>

       ifparse -A|--all

DESCRIPTION

       to translate the interface configuration stanzas between different formats.

           Only match interfaces that are marked as auto.

       -i, --interfaces FILE
           Use FILE as the config database.

       -U, --allow-undefined

           Use FILE as the state database.
