.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
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.
.Xr whois 1 .
.Pp
The
.Nm
tool accepts the following command-line options:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl c
Print the range in CIDR notation.
.It Fl d Ar delim
Set the delimiter to the character with ASCII code
.Ar delim
where 0 <=
.Ar delim
<= 255.
.It Fl e Ar <x.x.x,x.x>
Exclude ranges from the output.
.It Fl f Ar format
Set the format of addresses (hex, dec, or dot).
.It Fl h
Show summary of options.
.It Fl i Ar incr
Set the increment to 'x'.
.El
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
The
.Nm
tool's operation is not influenced by any environment variables.
.Sh FILES
The
.Nm
tool's operation is not influenced by any files.
.Sh EXAMPLES
Display all the addresses in a reserved subnet:
.Pp
.Dl prips 192.168.32.0 192.168.32.255
.Pp
The same, using CIDR notation:
.Pp
.Dl prips 192.168.32.0/24
.Pp
Display only the usable addresses in a class A reserved subnet using
a space instead of a newline for a delimiter:
.Pp
.Dl prips -d 32 10.0.0.1 10.255.255.255
.Pp
Display every fourth address in a weird block:
.Pp
.Dl prips -i 4 192.168.32.7 192.168.33.5
.Pp
Determine the smallest CIDR block containing two addresses:
.Pp
.Dl prips -c 192.168.32.5 192.168.32.11
