SYNOPSIS
========
    ifreload [-h] [-a] [-v] [-d] [-f] [-n] 

DESCRIPTION
===========
    reloads network interfaces(5) file /etc/network/interfaces.

    runs ifdown on interfaces that changed in the interfaces file and
    subsequently runs ifup on all interfaces.

    ifreload is equivalent to ``ifdown -a`` followed by ``ifup -a``
    but it skips ifdown for interfaces that did not change in the config
    file.

    -a, --all             process all interfaces marked "auto"

    -v, --verbose         verbose

    -d, --debug           output debug info

    -f, --force           force run all operations

    # reload /etc/network/interfaces file
