ifcfg - simplistic script which replaces ifconfig IP management

       This manual page documents briefly the ifcfg command.

       This is a simplistic script replacing one option of ifconfig , namely, IP address management. It not only
       adds addresses, but also carries out Duplicate Address Detection RFC-DHCP, sends unsolicited ARP to
       update the caches of other hosts sharing the interface, adds some control routes and restarts Router
       Discovery when it is necessary.

       command
              - add, delete or stop.

       ADDRESS
              - optionally followed by prefix length.

       peer   - optional peer address for pointpoint interfaces.
