## NAME
       routel - list routes with pretty output format
       routef - flush routes

## SYNTAX
       routel [_tablenr_ [_raw_ _ip_ _args..._]]
       routef

## DESCRIPTION
       These programs are a set of helper scripts you can use instead of raw iproute2 commands.
       The  routel  script will list routes in a format that some might consider easier to interpret
       then the ip route list equivalent.
       The routef script does not take any arguments and will simply flush the  routing  table  down
       the drain. Beware! This means deleting all routes which will make your network unusable!


## AUTHORS
       The  routel  script  was written by Stephen R. van den Berg <<srb@cuci.nl>>, 1999/04/18 and do‐
       nated to the public domain.
       This manual page was written  by  Andreas  Henriksson   <<andreas@fatal.se>>,  for  the  Debian
       GNU/Linux system.
