ipv6calc [Options] [<input data>]

This program formats and calculates IPv6/IPv4/MAC addresses and can do many more tricky things, e.g. includes a pipe filter capability.

If no data is presented as command-line arguments, data is read from standard input.

General options:

[-d|--debug DEBUGVALUE]

debug value (bitwise like) can also be set by IPV6CALC_DEBUG environment value

[-v|--version [-v [-v]]]

version information (2 optional detail levels)

[-v|--version -h]

explanation of feature tokens

[-V|--verbose]

be more verbose

[-h|--help|-?]

this online help

External database options (depending on compiled-in suppport):

[--db-ip2location-disable]

IP2Location support disabled

[--db-ip2location-dir DIRECTORY]

IP2Location database directory (default: /usr/share/IP2Location)

[--db-geoip-disable]

GeoIP support disabled

[--db-geoip-dir DIRECTORY]

GeoIP database directory (default: /usr/share/GeoIP)

Special options:

[-q|--quiet]

be more quiet (auto-enabled in pipe mode)

[-f|--flush]

flush each line in pipe mode

Usage with new style options:

[--in|-I INPUT-TYPE]

specify input  type (default: autodetect)

[--out|-O OUTPUT-TYPE]

specify output type (sometimes: autodetect)

[--action|-A ACTION]

specify action (default: format conversion, sometimes: autodetect)

[<format option> ...]

specify format options

<input data> [...]

Available input  types:

[-m] -I|--in     -?|-h|--help

Available output types:

Other usage:

--showinfo|-i [--machine_readable|-m]

show information about input data

--showinfo|-i --show_types

show available types on '-m'
