OK then, I'll bite. I just got my `ip -o addr show' on my laptop to
produce, amongst other things, this output:
10: secondary inet 10.2.3.4/32 scope global secondary\ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
11: home inet 10.4.5.6/32 scope global home home\ valid_lft
forever preferred_lft forever
How is a parser supposed to know which of these words are what ?
