Dear Maintainer,

I notice that the file: /etc/systemd/system/network-online.target.wants/networking.service
contains the lines:
ExecStart=/sbin/ifup -a --read-environment
ExecStop=/sbin/ifdown -a --read-environment --exclude=lo

I cannot find a description of the --read-environment option in the man page or
by using --help.

Many thanks for your work on this package.

Regards
