Description of problem: # ip help Object "help" is unknown, try "ip help". Hm..., somewhat circular even if 'ip --help', 'ip -help' and even 'ip -h' do work. Also up to know it was possible to type 'ip ro', 'ip ad', and 'ip' was coming back with reasonable answers. The current version insists that everything has to be spelled out: 'ip route', 'ip addr' and so on. Not a bug but a PITA, entirely for free, after years of accepting shortened forms. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): iproute-2.6.14-1 How reproducible: always
This was a boggus behaviour. Even more funky options like `ip hel` worked. Now help option is no longer supported, use -h or --help instead. Same with short options for route and address. Don't use them, they are unsopported!
Well, the fact that 'ip' puts clearly on your screen try "ip help" while this is not supported anymore (bummer!) is surely a bug.
You're right. It's in commands list so I'm adding it back to work .. Fixed in rawhide
