+.TH NETREPORT 1 "Red Hat, Inc." "RH" \" -*- nroff -*-
+.SH NAME
+netreport \- request notification of network interface changes
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B netreport
+\fI[\fP-r\fI]\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B netreport
+tells the network management scripts to send a SIGIO signal
+to the process which called netreport when any network interface
+status changes occur.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B -r
+Remove the current request (if any) for the calling process.
+.PP
+.SH NOTES
+If a program does not call netreport with the
+.B -r
+option before it exits, and another process is created with the
+same PID before any changes take place in interface status, it
+is possible that the new process will receive a spurious SIGIO.
