I hate doing this but I am tired of touching a fish script as part of
some change and having `make style` radically change it. Which makes
editing fish scripts more painful than it needs to be. It is time to do
a wholesale reformatting of these scripts to conform to the documented
style as implemented by the `fish_indent` program.
net_tools, which provides `ifconfig` and `netstat`, among other things,
has last been updated in 2013. This means `ifconfig` on linux is
basically dead.
Instead of ifconfig, use `ip` (from iproute2), which is much more powerful and
provides a much more annoying commandline syntax.
Instead of netstat, just look at /sys/class/net.
