NAME

6       ifdata - get network interface info without parsing ifconfig output

10

DESCRIPTION

12       ifdata can be used to check for the existence of a network interface,
13       or to get information abut the interface, such as its IP address.
14       Unlike ifconfig or ip, ifdata has simple to parse output that is
15       designed to be easily used by a shell script.
