OK then, I'll bite. I just got my `ip -o addr show' on my laptop to produce, amongst other things, this output: 10: secondary inet 10.2.3.4/32 scope global secondary\ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 11: home inet 10.4.5.6/32 scope global home home\ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever How is a parser supposed to know which of these words are what ?
