   4 The python-ifupdown2-addons package contains ifupdown2 addon modules.
   5
   6 addon modules are responsible for applying interface configuration.
   7 The modules are installed under /usr/share/ifupdownmodules.
   8
   9 Each module can declare its own set of supported attributes. Each module
  10 is passed the iface object (which is a representation of /etc/network/interfaces
  11 iface entry). Each module is also passed the operation to be performed.
  12
  13 Example modules are /usr/share/ifupdownmodules/address.py,
  14 /usr/share/ifupdownmodules/bridge.py etc
  15
  16 The order in which these modules are invoked is listed in
  17 /var/lib/ifupdownaddons/addons.conf. There is a ifaddon utility in the works
  18 to better manage the module ordering.

  21 documentation.
