If you scrolled down the body of the man page, the documented command was "ip route show". IIRC, "man ip-rule" (still?) has "list" in the synopsis and "show" in the body. So, for short, "ip r s"; or, given that "show" is the default, "ip r". PS1: I assume that "list" will be an alias forever, but who knows... PS2: You have to be careful with short forms. "ip r s" is understood, but "ip l s" isn't because it means "ip l set", not "ip l show". So you need "ip l sh" if you don't want simply to use "ip l". _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
