SYNOPSIS

[-c ] [-d delim ] [-e exclude ] [-f format ] [-i incr ] start end
[-c ] [-d delim ] [-e exclude ] [-f format ] [-i incr ] CIDR-block
-h

DESCRIPTION

The tool can be used to print all of the IP addresses in a given range. It can enhance tools that only work on one host at a time, e.g. whois(1).

The tool accepts the following command-line options:

-c

Print the range in CIDR notation.

-d delim

Set the delimiter to the character with ASCII code delim where 0 <= delim <= 255.

-e <x.x.x,x.x>

Exclude ranges from the output.

-f format

Set the format of addresses (hex, dec, or dot).

-h

Show summary of options.

-i incr

Set the increment to 'x'.

FILES

The tool's operation is not influenced by any files.

EXAMPLES

Display all the addresses in a reserved subnet:

prips 192.168.32.0 192.168.32.255

The same, using CIDR notation:

prips 192.168.32/24

Display only the usable addresses in a class A reserved subnet using a space instead of a newline for a delimiter:

prips -d 32 10.0.0.1 10.255.255.255

Display every fourth address in a weird block:

prips -i 4 192.168.32.7 192.168.33.5

Determine the smallest CIDR block containing two addresses:

prips -c 192.168.32.5 192.168.32.11

DIAGNOSTICS
