IFCONFIG(8)         Linux Programmer's Manual         IFCONFIG(8)

NAME
       ifconfig - configure a network interface

SYNOPSIS
       ifconfig [interface]
       ifconfig interface [aftype] options | address ...

[...]

       If no arguments are given, ifconfig displays the status of
       the  currently  active  interfaces.  If a single interface
       argument is given, it displays the  status  of  the  given
       interface  only;  if  a  single  -a  argument is given, it
       displays the status of all interfaces, even those that are
       down.  Otherwise, it configures an interface.
