NAME
====
**ifquery** - query interface configuration
SYNOPSIS
========
**ifquery [-v] [--allow CLASS] [--with-depends] -a|IFACE...**
**ifquery [-v] [-r|--running] [--allow CLASS] [--with-depends] -a|IFACE...**
**ifquery [-v] [-c|--check] [--allow CLASS] [--with-depends] -a|IFACE...**
**ifquery [-v] [-p|--print-dependency {list,dot}] [--allow CLASS] [--with-depends] -a|IFACE...**
**ifquery [-v] -s|--syntax-help**
DESCRIPTION
===========
**ifquery** can be used to parse interface configuration file, query
running state or check running state of the interface with configuration
in **/etc/network/interfaces** file.
**ifquery** always works on the current **interfaces(5)** file
**/etc/network/interfaces**.
OPTIONS
=======
positional arguments:
**IFACE** interface list separated by spaces. **IFACE** list and **'-a'** argument are mutually exclusive.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-a, --all process all interfaces marked "auto"
-v, --verbose verbose
-d, --debug output debug info
-l, --allow CLASS ignore non-"allow-CLASS" interfaces
-w, --with-depends run with all dependent interfaces. This option
is redundant when -a is specified. When '-a' is
specified, interfaces are always executed in
dependency order.
-X EXCLUDEPATS, --exclude EXCLUDEPATS
Exclude interfaces from the list of interfaces to
operate on. Can be specified multiple times
-r, --running print raw interfaces file entries
-c, --check check interface file contents against running state
of an interface. Returns exit code 0 on success and
1 on error
-p, --print-dependency {list,dot} print iface dependency in list or dot format
-s, --syntax-help print supported interface config syntax. Scans all
addon modules and dumps supported syntax from them
if provided by the module.
EXAMPLES
========
# dump all or some interfaces config file entries
# (pretty prints user provided entries)
**ifquery -a**
**ifquery br0**
# Same as above but dump with dependencies
**ifquery br0 --with-depends**
# Check running state with the config in /etc/network/interfaces
**ifquery --check br0**
**ifquery --check --with-depends br0**
**ifquery --check -a**
# dump running state of all interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces format
**ifquery --running br0**
**ifquery --running --with-depends br0**
**ifquery --running -a**
# print dependency info in list format
**ifquery --print-dependency=list -a**
**ifquery --print-dependency=list br2000**
# print dependency info in dot format
**ifquery --print-dependency=dot -a**
**ifquery --print-dependency=dot br2000**
# Create an image (png) from the dot format
**ifquery --print-dependency=dot -a > interfaces.dot**
**dot -Tpng interfaces.dot > interfaces.png**
(The above command only works on a system with dot installed)
