I find it difficult to read bash commands which make use of cryptic short argument flags, so I have taken the liberty of replacing one such instance of that in the manual with a human readable equivalent. Also, following, the principle of parallel construction I included an example of how to bring a network device up using ip in addition to ifconfig.
