libnetcfg

libnetcfg [action] [options] [arguments]

(Note: This synopsis is speculative as libnetcfg is not a standard command.)

--help
    Displays a help message and exits.
(Speculative: Standard for most commands.)

--version
    Displays version information and exits.
(Speculative: Standard for most commands.)

--list [component]
    Lists current configurations for a specified component or all components managed by the library.
(Speculative: Common for configuration tools.)

--set key value
    Sets a specific configuration parameter to a given value for the underlying library.
(Speculative: Common for configuration tools.)

--get key
    Retrieves the current value of a specific configuration parameter.
(Speculative: Common for configuration tools.)

--interface iface
    Specifies the network interface to apply settings to, or to query configuration for.
(Speculative: Relevant for network-related tools.)

The command `libnetcfg` is not a standard, widely recognized or available command in most mainstream Linux distributions. Its name strongly suggests it would be a utility for configuring network parameters or settings primarily used by or for a specific network library (e.g., `libnet` for raw packet injection).

If such a command were to exist, it might manage aspects like: binding specific network interfaces to the library, configuring low-level packet handling options, or setting up library-specific network stack optimizations. However, typical Linux network configuration is handled by standard tools like ip, nmcli, or distribution-specific network services. `libnetcfg` may exist within highly specialized embedded systems, specific appliance firmware, or as a component of a niche development environment, but it lacks general documentation or presence.

libnetcfg is not a standard Linux command and is generally not found on typical Linux distributions. Information provided here is based on logical inference from its name and common network configuration paradigms. Users should verify its existence and specific usage in their particular environment if encountering this name.

It could be a component of specialized embedded systems, custom network appliances, or part of a deprecated/niche development framework.

It is crucial to understand that libnetcfg is not a standard utility shipped with popular Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Fedora, etc. Attempts to run it on such systems will typically result in a 'command not found' error. Its existence would be limited to highly specialized environments or specific custom builds.

There is no widely documented history for a standalone libnetcfg command within the mainstream Linux ecosystem, precisely because it is not a standard component. Its name suggests a potential connection to the libnet library, which has been under active development since the late 1990s, used for raw packet creation and injection. If a libnetcfg command ever existed, it would likely have been an internal utility for managing libnet's operational parameters within specific applications or embedded systems rather than a general-purpose system configuration tool.
