| 94 | Deletions |
| 95 | ^^^^^^^^^ |
| 96 | |

| 98 | management commands (:issue:`3988`) |
| 99 | |
| 100 | - ``NetworkInterfaceInfo`` class, replaced by ``ndn::net::NetworkInterface`` from ndn-cxx |
| 101 | (:issue:`4021`) |
| 102 | |
| 103 | - Legacy nfdc and nfd-status invocations |
| 104 | |
| 105 | The following legacy nfdc sub-commands are deleted, use the corresponding ``nfdc face ...``, |
| 106 | ``nfdc route ...``, ``nfdc strategy ...`` commands: |
| 107 | |
| 108 | * ``register`` |
| 109 | * ``unregister`` |
| 110 | * ``create`` |
| 111 | * ``destroy`` |
| 112 | * ``set-strategy`` |

| 115 | * ``remove nexthop`` |
| 116 | |
| 117 | - ``nfd-status`` no longer accepts command line arguments (:issue:`4198`). Individual datasets |
| 118 | can be requested using ``nfdc channel list``, ``nfdc face list``, ``nfdc fib list``, ``nfdc |
| 119 | route list``, and ``nfdc strategy list`` commands. |
| 120 | |
| 121 | - ``nfdId`` from ``nfdc status`` output (:issue:`4089`) |
