PRIPS(1)
NAME
prips -- print IP address on a given range
SYNOPSIS
prips [-c] [-d delim] [-e exclude] [-f format] [-i incr] start end prips [-c] [-d delim] [-e exclude] [-f format] [-i incr] CIDR-block prips -h
DESCRIPTION
The prips tool can be used to print all of the IP address in a given
range. It can enhance the usability of tools that are made to work on
only one host at a time, e.g. whois(1).
The prips tool accepts the following command-line options:
-c Print range in CIDR notation.
- -d delim
- Set the delimiter 'x' where 0 =< x =< 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.
