This is main routine to parse ip-link(8) configuration parameters.
Move all code related to command line parsing and validation to it from
iptables_modify(). As benefit we reduce number of arguments as well as
checking for most of weired cases in single place to give benefit to
iptables_parse() users.
See individual patch description message for more information.
v4
Drop patches intended to reduce number of arguments to
iptables_parse(): postpone to the series with real use cases.
Save only ifi_index in iplink_vxcan.c and link_veth.c: no need
to save whole ifinfomsg data structure.
Note that there is no sense to introduce custom version of
iplink_parse() to use in iplink_vxcan.c and link_veth.c because
there is too much parameters we need to support (except VF and
few others) making huge code duplication.
v3
Move vxlan/veth ifinfomsg save/restore to separate patch to
make clear change that perform most of request buffer setups
and checks in iplink_parse().
Update commit message descriptions and extra new line from
"utils: Introduce and use nodev() helper routine" patch.
v2
Terminate via exit() when failing to parse command line arguments
to help identify failing line in batch mode.
Thanks,

utils: Introduce and use nodev() helper routine
iplink: Use "dev" and "name" parameters interchangeable when possible
iplink: Follow documented behaviour when "index" is given

iplink_parse()
