> we'call it ip for ... "internet protocol"? Why is this ip tool managing my ethernet network card? For CLI tools I use every day, their etymology is far less important to me than their brevity. "ip" suits the bill quite nicely. Yeah, the name-before-argument thing can be annoying though, but again, at least they're all short.
