I would say that the development code does not display the
indicated output.
Cool!
Instead it states
ifconfig: unknown: unknown output format
If this is the way it is formated, then it is correct. We don't
format error/warning/etc messages like so:
$ ./ifconfig/ifconfig --format=unknown
./ifconfig/ifconfig: "unknown" is unknown output format
