-.TH USERNETCTL 1 "Red Hat Software" "RHS" \" -*- nroff -*-
-.SH NAME
-usernetctl \- allow a user to manipulate a network interface if permitted
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B usernetctl
-\fIinterface-name\fP up\fI|\fPdown\fI|\fPreport
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B usernetctl
-checks to see if users are allowed to manipulate the network interface
-specified by \fIinterface-name\fP, and then tries to bring the network
-interface up or down, if up or down was specified on the command line,
-or returns true or false status (respectively) if the report option was
-specified.
-
-.B usernetctl
-is not really meant to be called directly by users, though it currently
-works fine that way. It is used as a wrapper by the ifup and ifdown
-scripts, so that users can do exactly the same thing as root:
-.nf
-ifup \fIinterface-name\fP
-ifdown \fIinterface-name\fP
-.fi
-and \fBifup\fP and \fBifdown\fP will call usernetctl automatically to
-allow the interface status change.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.I "\fIinterface-name"
-The name of the network interface to check; for example, "ppp0". For
-backwards compatibility, "ifcfg-ppp0" and
-"/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0" are also supported.
-.TP
-up\fI|\fPdown
-Attempt to bring the interface up or down.
-.TP
-report
-Report on whether users can bring the interface up or down.
-.SH NOTES
-Alternate device configurations may inherit the default configuration's
-permissions.
