Redisplay interface configuration in different formats

Usage

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

ifparse is used to extract information from the interface configuration file. It is intended to be used to translate the interface configuration stanzas between different formats.

Options

-a, --auto

Only match interfaces that are marked as auto.

-h, --help

Display supported options to ifquery.

-i, --interfaces FILE

Use FILE as the config database.

-F, --format FORMAT

Use FORMAT to determine what format to use. ifupdown and yaml-raw formats are available.

-I, --include PATTERN

Include PATTERN when matching against the config or state database.

-U, --allow-undefined

Create virtual interfaces for any interfaces not explicitly defined in the configuration file. This is primarily useful for property queries.

-S, --state-file FILE

Use FILE as the state database.

-T, --timeout TIMEOUT

Wait up to TIMEOUT seconds for executors to complete before raising an error.

-V, --version

Print the ifupdown-ng version and exit.
