SYNOPSIS
     ifdata [options] {iface}

DESCRIPTION
     ifdata can be used to check for the existence of a network interface, or to
     get  information about the interface, such as its IP address. Unlike ifcon-

     used by a shell script.

     -pN
	 Prints the network address of the interface.

     -pb
	 Prints the broadcast address of the interface.

     -pm
