  15 SYNOPSIS
  16 ========
  17     ifreload [-h] (-a|-c) [-v] [-d] [-f] [-n]
  18
  19 DESCRIPTION
  20 ===========
  21     reloads network **interfaces(5)** file **/etc/network/interfaces**.
  22
  23     Runs **ifdown** on interfaces that were removed from the file and
  24     subsequently runs **ifup** on all interfaces.
  25
  26     When removing an interface (iface section) from the interfaces file
  27     please make sure all its references are removed as well. Similarly
  28     when renaming an interface, please make sure all references to the
  29     interface are changed to the new name. Renaming an interface
  30     in the interfaces file results in ifdown of the old and ifup
  31     of the interface with the new name.
  32
  33     If you do not wish to execute **down** on any interfaces, but only **up** on
  34     interfaces that were already **up**, please see the **--currently-up**
  35     option below.

  38 OPTIONS
  39 =======
  40     -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  41
  42     -a, --all             process all interfaces marked "auto"
  43
  44     -v, --verbose         verbose
  45
  46     -d, --debug           output debug info
  47
  48     -f, --force           force run all operations
  49
  50     -c, --currently-up    only reload auto and other interfaces that are
  51                           currently up. This can be used as a non-disruptive
  52                           alternative to -a because it will not down any
  53                           interfaces
  54
  55     -X EXCLUDEPATS, --exclude EXCLUDEPATS
  56                           Exclude interfaces from the list of interfaces to
  57                           operate on. Can be specified multiple times
