DESCRIPTION¶
The
prips 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
prips 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'.
ENVIRONMENT¶
The
prips tool's operation is not influenced
by any environment variables.
FILES¶
The
prips 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¶
The
prips utility exits 0 on success,
and >0 if an error occurs.
