appears twice or more, the amount of information increases.
As a rule, the information is statistics or some time values.
+\item \verb|-d|, \verb|-details|
+
+--- output more detailed information.
\item \verb|-f|, \verb|-family| followed by a protocol family
identifier: \verb|inet|, \verb|inet6| or \verb|link|.
\verb|ip| never uses DNS to resolve names to addresses.
\end{NB}
+\item \verb|-b|, \verb|-batch FILE|
+
+--- read commands from provided file or standart input and invoke them.
+First failure will cause termination of \verb|ip|.
+In batch \verb|FILE| everything which begins with \verb|#| symbol is
+ignored and can be used for comments.
+\paragraph{Example:}
+\begin{verbatim}
+kuznet@kaiser $ cat /tmp/ip_batch.ip
+# This is a comment
+tuntap add mode tap tap1 # This is an another comment
+link set up dev tap1
+addr add 10.0.0.1/24 dev tap1
+kuznet@kaiser $ sudo ip -b /tmp/ip_batch.ip
+\end{verbatim}
+or from standart input:
+\begin{verbatim}
+kuznet@kaiser $ cat /tmp/ip_batch.ip | sudo ip -b -
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\item \verb|-force|
+
+--- don't terminate ip on errors in batch mode.
+If there were any errors during execution of the commands,
+the application return code will be non zero.
+
+\item \verb|-l|, \verb|-loops COUNT|
+
+--- specify maximum number of loops the 'ip addr flush' logic will attempt
+before giving up. The default is 10. Zero (0) means loop until all
+addresses are removed.
