+.SH OPTIONS
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-V" , " -Version"
+Print the version of the
+.B ip
+utility and exit.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-h", " \-human", " \-human-readable"
+output statistics with human readable values followed by suffix.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-b", " \-batch " <FILENAME>
+Read commands from provided file or standard input and invoke them.
+First failure will cause termination of ip.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-force"
+Don't terminate ip on errors in batch mode.  If there were any errors
+during execution of the commands, the application return code will be
+non zero.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-s" , " \-stats" , " \-statistics"
+Output more information. If the option
+appears twice or more, the amount of information increases.
+As a rule, the information is statistics or some time values.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-d" , " \-details"
+Output more detailed information.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-l" , " \-loops " <COUNT>
+Specify maximum number of loops the 'ip address flush' logic
+will attempt before giving up. The default is 10.
+Zero (0) means loop until all addresses are removed.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-f" , " \-family " <FAMILY>
+Specifies the protocol family to use. The protocol family identifier
+can be one of
+.BR "inet" , " inet6" , " bridge" ,  " mpls"
+or
+.BR link .
+If this option is not present,
+the protocol family is guessed from other arguments. If the rest
+of the command line does not give enough information to guess the
+family,
+.B ip
+falls back to the default one, usually
+.B inet
+or
+.BR "any" .
+.B link
+is a special family identifier meaning that no networking protocol
+is involved.
+
+.TP
+.B \-4
+shortcut for
+.BR "-family inet" .
+
+.TP
+.B \-6
+shortcut for
+.BR "\-family inet6" .
+
+.TP
+.B \-B
+shortcut for
+.BR "\-family bridge" .
+
+.TP
+.B \-M
+shortcut for
+.BR "\-family mpls" .
+
+.TP
+.B \-0
+shortcut for
+.BR "\-family link" .
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-o" , " \-oneline"
+output each record on a single line, replacing line feeds
+with the
+.B '\e'
+character. This is convenient when you want to count records
+with
+.BR wc (1)
+or to
+.BR grep (1)
+the output.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-r" , " \-resolve"
+use the system's name resolver to print DNS names instead of
+host addresses.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-n" , " \-netns " <NETNS>
+switches
+.B ip
+to the specified network namespace
+.IR NETNS .
+Actually it just simplifies executing of:
+
+.B ip netns exec
+.IR NETNS
+.B ip
+.RI "[ " OPTIONS " ] " OBJECT " { " COMMAND " | "
+.BR help " }"
+
+to
+
+.B ip
+.RI "-n[etns] " NETNS " [ " OPTIONS " ] " OBJECT " { " COMMAND " | "
+.BR help " }"
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-N" , " \-Numeric"
+Print the number of protocol, scope, dsfield, etc directly instead of
+converting it to human readable name.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-a" , " \-all"
+executes specified command over all objects, it depends if command
+supports this option.
+
+.TP
+.BR \-c [ color ][ = { always | auto | never }
+Configure color output. If parameter is omitted or
+.BR always ,
+color output is enabled regardless of stdout state. If parameter is
+.BR auto ,
+stdout is checked to be a terminal before enabling color output. If
+parameter is
+.BR never ,
+color output is disabled. If specified multiple times, the last one takes
+precedence. This flag is ignored if
+.B \-json
+is also given.
+
+Used color palette can be influenced by
+.BR COLORFGBG
+environment variable
+(see
+.BR ENVIRONMENT ).
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-t" , " \-timestamp"
+display current time when using monitor option.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-ts" , " \-tshort"
+Like
+.BR \-timestamp ,
+but use shorter format.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-rc" , " \-rcvbuf" <SIZE>
+Set the netlink socket receive buffer size, defaults to 1MB.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-iec"
+print human readable rates in IEC units (e.g. 1Ki = 1024).
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-br" , " \-brief"
+Print only basic information in a tabular format for better
+readability. This option is currently only supported by
+.BR "ip addr show ", " ip link show " & " ip neigh show " commands.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-j", " \-json"
+Output results in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-p", " \-pretty"
+The default JSON format is compact and more efficient to parse but
+hard for most users to read.  This flag adds indentation for
+readability.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-echo"
+Request the kernel to send the applied configuration back.

+
+.SS
+.I COMMAND
+
+Specifies the action to perform on the object.
+The set of possible actions depends on the object type.
+As a rule, it is possible to
+.BR "add" , " delete"

+or have some additional commands. The
+.B help
+command is available for all objects. It prints
+out a list of available commands and argument syntax conventions.
+.sp

+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT

+.B COLORFGBG
+If set, it's value is used for detection whether background is dark or
+light and use contrast colors for it.
+
+COLORFGBG environment variable usually contains either two or three
+values separated by semicolons; we want the last value in either case.
+If this value is 0-6 or 8, chose colors suitable for dark background:
+
+COLORFGBG=";0" ip -c a
+
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+Exit status is 0 if command was successful, and 1 if there is a syntax error.
