they are described in RFC 3484. Precedence is managed by userspace,
and only the label itself is stored in the kernel.

add an address label entry to the kernel.
.TP
.BI prefix " PREFIX"

.BI dev " DEV"
the outgoing interface.

the label for the prefix.
0xffffffff is reserved.
.SS ip addrlabel del - delete an address label
delete an address label entry from the kernel.
.B Arguments:
coincide with the arguments of
.B ip addrlabel add
but the label is not required.
.SS ip addrlabel list - list address labels
list the current address label entries in the kernel.
.SS ip addrlabel flush - flush address labels
flush all address labels in the kernel. This does not restore any default settings.
