will also reflect the dormant state.

decimal number. This attribute is used for mapping an interface
identifier to an interface name. It is used throughout the
networking stack for specifying the interface specific
requests/events.
What: /sys/class/net/<iface>/iflink
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
