Machine-checked — no person has signed for it. This question was read against the source cited below by an automated pass, which found no contradiction. That is a weaker claim than it sounds: the same kind of process wrote the question, so it can confirm its own mistake.

Treat it as a good draft rather than as settled fact, and read the source below before you rely on it. It is not used in mock exams here — only questions a person has signed for are.

Case sensitive — Linux is, and grading LS as ls would teach a falsehood.

Why

`ip route show`, usually typed `ip r`, dumps the main routing table. The default route prints as `default via GATEWAY dev IFACE`, and directly connected networks print with `proto kernel scope link src ADDRESS`. Add a route with `ip route add`, remove one with `ip route del`, and ask which route would be used for one destination with `ip route get ADDRESS`.
