I suppose it would help if I knew what 'inet6  
2600:100e:b036:72f8:38ba:e736:ff86:ba23/64 scope global deprecated dynamic 
mngtmpaddr noprefixroute'

is telling me or, for that matter what ifconfig's entry means.

inet6 2600:100e:b036:72f8:38ba:e736:ff86:ba23  prefixlen 64  scopeid 
0x0<global>

I'm not a network admin and it's all noise to me. '-h' and '-p' are the 
same although 'j' does emit json.
