The switches are useless until you have an idea about what the command can do. And yet the 'IP - COMMAND SYNTAX' section has text like 'link - network device'. What the hell does that mean? So 'ip link' does what exactly? Could the developers have typed more than just two words to try to explain this command (action?) Good luck to anyone who decides to RTFM.

You have to read the manual too ;)
