Every tool in the iproute2 package have one or more function to show
an help message to the user. Some of these functions print the help
line by line with a series of printf call, e.g. ip/xfrm_state.c does
60 fprintf calls.
If we group all the calls to a single one and just concatenate strings,
we save a lot of libc calls and thus object size. The size difference
of the compiled binaries calculated with bloat-o-meter is:
ip/ip:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 5/15 up/down: 103/-4796 (-4693)
Total: Before=672591, After=667898, chg -0.70%
ip/rtmon:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-54 (-54)
Total: Before=48879, After=48825, chg -0.11%
tc/tc:
add/remove: 0/2 grow/shrink: 31/10 up/down: 882/-6133 (-5251)
Total: Before=351912, After=346661, chg -1.49%
bridge/bridge:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-459 (-459)
Total: Before=70502, After=70043, chg -0.65%
misc/lnstat:
add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 1/0 up/down: 48/-486 (-438)
Total: Before=9960, After=9522, chg -4.40%
tipc/tipc:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/1 up/down: 18/-62 (-44)
Total: Before=79182, After=79138, chg -0.06%
While at it, indent some strings which were starting at column 0,
and use tabs where possible, to have a consistent style across helps.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm
arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package.
2. make
The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.
3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
PAGESIZE=a4 , ie: a4 , letter ... (string)
PAGESPERPAGE=2 , ie: 1 , 2 ... (numeric)
and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
are in your path.
4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
if you have special requirements and need to point at different
kernel include files.
