 .SH SYNOPSIS
 .B "nameif [-c configfile] [-s]"
 .br
-.B "nameif [-c configfile] [-s] {interface macaddress}"
+.B "nameif [-c configfile] [-s] [interface macaddress]"
+.br
+.B "nameif [-c configfile] [-r] [newifname oldifname]"
 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .B nameif 
-renames network interfaces based on mac addresses. When no arguments are
-given 
+renames network interfaces based on mac addresses or interface names. 
+When no arguments are given 
 .I /etc/mactab
 is read. Each line  of it contains an interface name and a Ethernet MAC 
 address. Comments are allowed starting with #. 
 Otherwise the interfaces specified on the command line are processed.
 .I nameif
-looks for the interface with the given MAC address and renames it to the
-name given.
-
-When the 
-.I -s
-argument is given all error messages go to the syslog.
-
-When the 
-.I -c 
-argument is given with a file name that file is read instead of /etc/mactab.
+looks for the interface with the given MAC address or old interface name
+and renames it to the name given.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B "[-s|--syslog]"
+Log all error messages to syslog.
+.TP
+.B "[-r|--rename]"
+Rename the interface given by
+.I oldifname
+to the new name
+.I newifname
+without consulting any macaddress.
+.TP
+.B "[-c|--config-file configfile]"
+Read
+.I configfile 
+instead of
+.I /etc/mactab.
