This is useful for getting rid of large numbers of IP
addresses in scripts.

Maybe I am missing a trick, but what is wrong with putting this trivial
logic into the script:

ip addr show ${DEV} | awk '/inet6? / { print $2 }' | xargs -I{} ip addr del '{}' dev ${DEV}

This isn't going to be fast if you have thousands of addresses.

Obviously not like-for-like but:

You might try comparing against -batch mode v/s individual
calls to ip.

I'd enjoy adding/removing thousands of IP addrs in < 1 second,
but got a bit of work to do before I get there I think.

Thanks,
Ben
