Readme for ip6addr-2.0.0
[back to package description]ip6addr 
1. Goal
ip6addr is a commandline tool that validates and generates IPv6 address text representations, based upon the library IPv6Addr :
- Canonical, in conformation with RFC 5952 (default output)
- Pure, i.e. force the rewriting of IPv4 address if present
- Full length
- Reverse lookup domain name, in conformation with RFC 3596 Section 2.5
- Windows UNC path name
- Random generation for test purpose
2. Usage
ip6addr v2.0.0 (c) Michel Boucey 2011-2024
Usage: ip6addr [-v|--version]
[(-c|--canonical) | (-n|--no-ipv4) | (-f|--full-length) |
(-p|--ptr) | (-w|--windows-unc) | (-r|--random)]
[-q|--quantity ARG] [-s|--prefix ARG] [-d|--no-newline]
[IPv6 address]
ip6addr
Available options:
-v,--version Show version
-c,--canonical In conformation with RFC 5952 (default output)
-n,--no-ipv4 Force the rewriting of the IPv4 address if present to
get a pure IPv6 address made of nibbles only
-f,--full-length Full IPv6 address length
-p,--ptr PTR reverse mapping
-w,--windows-unc Windows UNC path name
-r,--random Random generation
-q,--quantity ARG Amount of random addresses to generate
-s,--prefix ARG Set a prefix for random addresses to generate
-d,--no-newline Do not output trailing newlines
-h,--help Show this help text
N.B. : In version 2, flags and arguments have changed from version 1, but the main features are identical.
