Hi, I found that the description of the `ip link add` command in the manpage
is outdated regarding the compulsory `link DEVICE` option.  For instance, `ip
link help` says:

    Usage: ip link add [link DEV] [ name ] NAME
    ...

But the manpage still says:

    ip link add link DEVICE [ name ] NAME

(Trying to provide a `link` option e.g. under an LXC container can frustrate
the creation of dummy devices which don't need an actual device.)

Thanks!
