Subject: [PATCH] man: fix doc, ip link does support "change"

From: Jiayun Chen <jiayunchen@...il.nju.edu.cn>

ip link does support "change".

if (matches(*argv, "set") == 0 ||
    matches(*argv, "change") == 0)
    return iplink_modify(RTM_NEWLINK, 0,
                 argc-1, argv+1);

The attached patch documents this.
