<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
<command>ifdata</command> can be used to check for
the existence of a network interface, or to get
information abut the interface, such as its IP
address. Unlike <command>ifconfig</command> or
<command>ip</command>, <command>ifdata</command>
has simple to parse output that is designed to be
easily used by a shell script.
