  15 SYNOPSIS
  16 ========
  17     ifreload [-h] [-a] [-v] [-d] [-f] [-n]
  18
  19 DESCRIPTION
  20 ===========
  21     reloads network interfaces(5) file /etc/network/interfaces.
  22
  23     runs ifdown on interfaces that changed in the interfaces file and
  24     subsequently runs ifup on all interfaces.
  25
  26     ifreload is equivalent to ``ifdown -a`` followed by ``ifup -a``
  27     but it skips ifdown for interfaces that did not change in the config
  28     file.
