+.SH DESCRIPTION
+A VRF provides traffic isolation at layer 3 for routing, similar to how a
+VLAN is used to isolate traffic at layer 2. Fundamentally, a VRF is a separate
+routing table. Network devices are associated with a VRF by enslaving the
+device to the VRF. At that point network addresses assigned to the device are
+local to the VRF with host and connected routes moved to the table associated
+with the VRF.
+
+A process can specify a VRF using several APIs -- binding the socket to the
+VRF device using SO_BINDTODEVICE, setting the VRF association using
+IP_UNICAST_IF or IPV6_UNICAST_IF, or specifying the VRF for a specific message
+using IP_PKTINFO or IPV6_PKTINFO.
+
+By default a process is not bound to any VRF. An association can be set
+explicitly by making the program use one of the APIs mentioned above or
+implicitly using a helper to set SO_BINDTODEVICE for all IPv4 and IPv6
+sockets (AF_INET and AF_INET6) when the socket is created. This ip-vrf command
+is a helper to run a command against a specific VRF with the VRF association
+inherited parent to child.
+
+.TP
+.B ip vrf show [ NAME ] - Show all configured VRF
+.sp
+This command lists all VRF and their corresponding table ids. If NAME is
+given, then only that VRF and table id is shown. The latter command is
+useful for scripting where the table id for a VRF is needed.
+
+.TP
+.B ip vrf exec [ NAME ] cmd ... - Run cmd against the named VRF
+.sp
+This command allows applications that are VRF unaware to be run against
+a VRF other than the default VRF (main table). A command can be run against
+the default VRF by passing the "default" as the VRF name. This is useful if
+the current shell is associated with another VRF (e.g, Management VRF).
+
+.TP
+.B ip vrf identify [PID] - Report VRF association for process
+.sp
+This command shows the VRF association of the specified process. If PID is
+not specified then the id of the current process is used.
+
+.TP
+.B ip vrf pids NAME - Report processes associated with the named VRF
+.sp
+This command shows all process ids that are associated with the given
+VRF.
+
+.SH CAVEATS
+This command requires a kernel compiled with CGROUPS and CGROUP_BPF enabled.
+
+The VRF helper *only* affects network layer sockets.
+
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.PP
+ip vrf exec red ssh 10.100.1.254
+.RS
+Executes ssh to 10.100.1.254 against the VRF red table.
