   I suppose it would help if I knew what 'inet6   
   2600:100e:b036:72f8:38ba:e736:ff86:ba23/64 scope global deprecated dynamic   
   mngtmpaddr noprefixroute'   
      
   is telling me or, for that matter what ifconfig's entry means.   
      
   inet6 2600:100e:b036:72f8:38ba:e736:ff86:ba23  prefixlen 64  scopeid   
   0x0   
      
   I'm not a network admin and it's all noise to me. '-h' and '-p' are the   
   same although 'j' does emit json.
