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 experiments
     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, includ-
     ing dotted IP range. Aka will try to guess the subnet or you can use an ex-
     plicit 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  in-
     terface 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).

     --help

	    package version info

     --aliases <str>
