ifconfig(8) doesn't display the preferred or valid lifetimes of inet6 addresses.

ifconfig -a

Yes, please!

Cursory glance at FreeBSD and OpenBSD suggest they will display the pltime and vltime of each inet6 address on the same line as the address and scope id, as ` pltime <duration> vltime <duration>', with <duration> being a decimal integer number of seconds or the text `infty'.
