Description Marc Muehlfeld 2020-03-26 15:20:52 UTC
Description of problem:
The bridge(8) man page contains some incorrect information:
>   bridge link show - list bridge port configuration.
>       This command displays the current bridge port configuration and flags.


This should be changed, for example, to:
>   bridge link show - list all bridge ports
>       This command displays the status and flags of Ethernet devices
>       that are slaves to any bridge device. To display the status only
>       for a specific bridge, use the "ip link show master <bridge_device>"
>       command.
