Subject: ip: Allow to easy change network namespace
X-Git-Tag: v3.19.0~36
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=52700d40a2b3ee20afcdfa999c611fef0107579a;p=thirdparty%2Fiproute2.git

ip: Allow to easy change network namespace

Added new '-netns' option to simplify executing following cmd:

    ip netns exec NETNS ip OPTIONS COMMAND OBJECT

    to

    ip -n[etns] NETNS OPTIONS COMMAND OBJECT

e.g.:

    ip -net vnet0 link add br0 type bridge
    ip -n vnet0 link
