>"ip addr show" lists interfaces and their stats. It's harder to read than ifconfig -a but gives you the same information in a similar format.

It's worth noting that `-br` gives you a brief version of the output, and `-c` colors it, so that it's possible to do something like this:

  ip -br -c addr
to get a very readable and colorful table-like output.

There's also `-j` for JSON, and `-j -p` for pretty JSON.
