You are misunderstanding the '-i' option, have you read the manual
description?
-i interface
Specify the network interface. The default is /var/run/pmc.$pid
for the Unix Domain Socket transport and eth0 for the other
transports.
This is about the communication channel between pmc and ptp4l, not about
the interface to query. Consider the general case where ptp4l is running
on a remote host, you have no idea if it's called eth0 over there or
something else.
Thanks,
-Vladimir
