SYNOPSIS
ipv6calc [option] <input data>
DESCRIPTION
ipv6calc is a small utility in C to manipulate IPv6 addresses.
This utility is used to extend features on network-functions-ipv6.
OPTIONS
General options :
- [--debug | -d <debug value>] : debug value (bitwise like)
- [ -q | --quiet ] : be more quiet
- Usage with new style options :
- [--in <input type>] : specify input type (default: autodetect)
- We can see available input types to type "ipv6calc --in -?", "ipv6calc --in -h" or "ipv6calc --in --help" .
Available input types :
- auto : automatic detection
- revnibbles.int : dot separated nibbles reverse, ending with ip6.int.
- revnibbles.arpa : dot separated nibbles reverse, ending with ip6.arpa.
- bitstring : bitstring labes, ending with ip6.arpa.
- ipv6addr : IPv6 address
- ipv4addr : IPv4 address
- mac : MAC address (48 bits)
- base85 : Base-85 string
- ifinet6 : Like line in /proc/net/if_inet6
- iid+token : Interface identifier and token
- ipv6logconv : ipv6logconv (currently not supported)
- prefix+mac : IPv6 prefix and a MAC address
For examples and available format options use:
--in <type> --examples [--out <output type>] : specify output type (sometimes: autodetect)
We can see available output types to type "ipv6calc --out -?", "ipv6calc --out -h" or "ipv6calc --out --help".
- Available output types :
- revnibbles.int : dot separated nibbles reverse, ending with ip6.int.
- revnibbles.arpa : dot separated nibbles reverse, ending with ip6.arpa.
- bitstring : bitstring labes, ending with ip6.arpa.
- ipv6addr : IPv6 address
- ipv4addr : IPv4 address
- mac : MAC address (48 bits)
- eui64 : EUI-64 identifier (64 bits)
- base85 : Base-85 string
- ifinet6 : Like line in /proc/net/if_inet6
- iid : Interface identifier
- iid+token : Interface identifier and token
- addrtype : Address type
- ouitype : OUI (IEEE) type
- ipv6addrtype : IPv6 address type
- any : any type (currently not supported)
- revipv4 : reverse IPv4, ending with in-addr.arpa
- For examples and available format options use:
-
--out <type> --examples - [--action <action>] : specify action (default: format conversion, sometimes: autodetect)
- We can see available action types to type "ipv6calc --action -?", "ipv6calc --action -h" or "ipv6calc --action --help".
- Available action types :
- auto : Automatic selection of action (default)
- geneui64 : Converts a MAC address to an EUI-64 address
- conv6to4 : Converts IPv4 address <-> 6to4 IPv6 address (prefix)
- genprivacyiid : Generates a privacy interface ID out of a given one and a token
- prefixmac2ipv6 : Generates an IPv6 address out of a prefix and a MAC address
- [<format option> ...] : specify format options
- <input data> [...] : input data.
-
For example, "127.0.0.1", "::1".
- Other usage :
- --showinfo | -i [ --machine_readable | -m ] : show information about input data
- --showinfo | -i --show_types : show available types on '-m'
- To see old-style option use : --printoldoptions
- --printoldoptions :
- --addr2ip6_int
- --addr_to_ip6int
- --addr2ip6_arpa
- --addr_to_ip6arpa
- --addr_to_bitstring
- --addr2compaddr
- --addr_to_compressed
- --addr2uncompaddr
- --addr_to_uncompressed
- --addr_to_base85
- --base85_to_addr
- --mac_to_eui64
- --addr2fulluncompaddr
- --addr_to_fulluncompressed
- --addr2if_inet6
- --addr_to_ifinet6
- --if_inet62addr
- --ifinet6_to_compressed
- --eui64_to_privacy
- --ipv4_to_6to4addr
- --version : print version.
EXAMPLES
To run this program the standard way type:ipv6calc --showinfo -i -m ::1
- ipv6calc --showinfo -m 127.0.0.1
- ipv6calc --showinfo --show_types
- ipv6calc --ipv4_to_6to4addr 127.0.0.1
- ipv6calc --addr_to_uncompressed ::1
