That means having two utilities for the same purpose. Not very convenient. Be it "weirdo" or not, the current route/ifconfig invocation syntax has be here for decades, it is the commonly accepted one, and it is this syntax that's being used by all scripts all over the world. We cannot expect the situation to change any time soon. As a side note, I don't see any sound motivation for that (the long-option syntax is neither simpler nor nor more convenient). Given all this, I regard the library version as a better alternative. Regards, Sergey
