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, 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).


OPTIONS
       --help list of options

       --version
