Nothing in the entirety of the usage message says anything about "a", same omission as the man page. Mere mortals don't all know what man page writers and programmers assume they know.
"ip a" is short for "ip addr" which is in the man page
Where in the man page exactly? If it was apparent I wouldn't have had reason to ask.
Quoted from "man 8 ip": The names of all objects may be written in full or abbreviated form, for example address can be abbreviated as addr or just a. And, for further information try "man 8 ip-address" (from SEE ALSO). HTH, cheers. l8er manfred
