NAME

       ifmetric - An IPv4 route metrics manipulation tool

SYNOPSIS

       ifmetric INTERFACE [METRIC]

DESCRIPTION

       ifmetric is a Linux tool for setting the metrics of all IPv4 routes attached to a given network interface
       at  once.  This  may  be  used  to  change the priority of routing IPv4 traffic over the interface. Lower
       metrics correlate with higher priorities.

       ifmetric uses the Linux NETLINK interface to manipulate the routes. Because of that it is compatible with
       routes created with the new iproute2 utility.

OPTIONS

       You should specify the interface name as first parameter. The second parameter should be the new  metric.
       If omitted the metric 0 (highest) is used.

RETURN VALUES

       0 Success

       1 Failure
