IFPARSE(1M)							   IFPARSE(1M)

NAME
       ifparse - parse ifconfig command line

SYNOPSIS
       /sbin/ifparse [-fs] addr_family commands

DESCRIPTION
       Use  the ifparse command to parse the ifconfig(1M) command line options
       and output substrings, one per line, as appropriate. If no options  are
       specified, ifparse returns the entire ifconfig command line as a series
       of substrings, one per line.

OPTIONS
       The ifparse command supports the following options:

       -f
	     Lists only substrings of the ifconfig command line that are rele‐
	     vant to IP network multipath failover

       -s
	      Lists  only substrings of the ifconfig command line that are not
	     relevant to IP network multipath failover

OPERANDS
       The ifparse command does not  support  the  interface  operand  of  the
       ifconfig command.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1 Parsing Command Line Options Relevant to Failover

       The following example shows the use of the ifparse command to parse the
       command line options relevant to IP network multipath failover:

	 example# ifparse -f inet 1.2.3.4 up group one addif 1.2.3.5 -failover up
	 set 1.2.3.4 up

       Example 2 Parsing  Command  Line	 Options  That	Are  Not  Relevant  to
       Failover

       The following example shows the use of the ifparse command to parse the
       command line options that are not  relevant  to	IP  network  multipath
       failover:

	 example# ifparse -s inet 1.2.3.4 up group one addif 1.2.3.5 -failover up
	 group one
	 addif 1.2.3.5 -failover up

       Example 3 Parsing the Command Line For All Options

       The following example shows the use of the ifparse command to parse the
       command line for all ifconfig options:

	 example# ifparse inet 1.2.3.4 up group one addif 1.2.3.5 -failover up
	 group one
	 set 1.2.3.4 up
	 addif 1.2.3.5 -failover up

       ifparse: Operation <operation> not supported for <addr_family>
	   Description:

	   ple,	 the broadcast operation is not supported on the inet6 address
	   family.

NOTES

       likely  be removed in a future release. You should not develop applica‐
       tions that depend upon this interface.
