		| It's currently possible to create an altname conflicting
with an altname or real name of another device by creating
it in another netns and moving it over:
 [ ~]$ ip link add dev eth0 type dummy
 [ ~]$ ip netns add test
 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link add dev ethX netns test type dummy
 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link property add dev ethX altname eth0
 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link set dev ethX netns 1
 [ ~]$ ip link
 ...
 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
     link/ether 02:40:88:62:ec:b8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
 ...
 5: ethX: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
     link/ether 26:b7:28:78:38:0f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
     altname eth0
Create a macro for walking the altnames, this hopefully makes
it clearer that the list we walk contains only altnames.
Which is otherwise not entirely intuitive.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
