How to get TX/RX bytes without ifconfig?

How to get TX/RX bytes without ifconfig?

Since ifconfig is apparently being deprecated in major Linux
distributions, I thought I'd learn something about the ip tool that's
supposed to be used instead of ifconfig.
And here I ran into a problem: when run on its own, ifconfig shows the
number of bytes received/transmitted on each interface besides other info.
I couldn't find a way to get this from ip. Is there no such function in
this tool? What other built-in tools could I use for getting those stats?
