... Isn't ifconfig considered obsolete these days, in favor of
the almighty ip(8)? And, FWIW, ip(8) doesn't seem to contain
the word "alias." (And neither does its output; see below.)
AIUI, initially, Linux (the kernel) allowed just one IPv4
address per interface. Thus, the notion of "aliases" -- several
"logical" network interface per single "physical" one -- was
introduced. With the kernel's IP implementation extended to
handle the case in an (arguably) better and more logical
fashion, the very notion of an "interface alias" became
obsolete. (And, as was already noted in this thread, these
weren't "first-class" interfaces to begin with; for instance, I
doubt that one'd use such an "alias" in the route(8) command.)
