There's some caveats to comparing it to linux ifconfig and netstat: ifconfig can't express the idea that an interface can have IPv4 address, and is inconsistent with itself because it does show all of the IPv6 addresses. netstat (and route because you can't manipulate the main RIB with netstat, so now you have two problems-- er-- tools) completely elides things like source address selection as a function of the RIB, and the fact that the kernel can have more than one routing table.
