:-) I wanted to be able to read it - and the OP had said that he had Wheezy,
so I knew that he had ifconfig. If you remember, I got in trouble the other
day for saying that the command is "ip". ;-)
I just wanted to be able compare what he had as ip in /e/n/i and what ifconfig
said, to see if they tallied. Or to suggest it to the OP. ;-) So a "pretty"
quick summary was ideal.
And no, ip is not easier to parse. It may be for you, and even for most
people - but I find it so difficult to read that it is hard to get anything
out of it. (And I do mean read - physically read). But ip clearly gives
more information - _if_ you can read it. ;-)
