Subject: ip: allow using a device "help" (or a prefix thereof)
X-Git-Tag: v4.3.0~38
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8aacb9bbbd741c2873ee90118264ae2d5bbd9ae3;p=thirdparty%2Fiproute2.git

ip: allow using a device "help" (or a prefix thereof)

Device names that match "help" or a prefix thereof should be allowed anywhere
a device name can be used. Note that a suitable keyword ("dev" or "name", the
latter for "ip tunnel") has to be used in these cases to resolve ambiguities.
