NAME
       polygraph-aka - IP aliases manipulation tool

SYNOPSIS
       aka [--option ...] [interface_name] [alias] ...

DESCRIPTION
       Aka  is	used to	setup large number of aliases during Polygraph experi-
       ments with many robots and servers.

       The aliases option specifies what alias or aliases you want to have  on
       the given interface. Aka	recognizes IP addresses	in PGL address format,
       including  dotted IP range. Aka will try	to guess the subnet or you can
       use an explicit subnet specification.

       The number of aliases you can set depends on your  OS.  Moreover,  some
       OSes  may  support  large number	of aliases (more than 1000) but	with a
       significant performance penalty.

       Note that you can just put alias	specs after all	other options and  the
       interface name (see aka's usage line).

       Aka  will delete	all old	aliases	before setting new ones. If you	do not
       specify the new aliases,	the old	ones will still	be deleted (handy  for
       cleaning	up after yourself).
