NAME

       ipv6calc - a small utility written in C to manipulate IPv6 addresses.

SYNOPSIS

       ipv6calc [option] <input data>

DESCRIPTION

       ipv6calc is a small utility in C to manipulate IPv6 addresses.

       This utility is used to extend features on network-functions-ipv6.

OPTIONS

       General options :

       [--debug | -d <debug value>] : debug value (bitwise like)

       [ -q | --quiet ] : be more quiet

       Usage with new style options :

       [--in <input type>] : specify input  type (default: autodetect)
              We  can see available input types to type "ipv6calc --in -?", "ipv6calc --in -h" or
              "ipv6calc --in --help" .

       Available input types :

       auto : automatic detection

       revnibbles.int : dot separated nibbles reverse, ending with ip6.int.

       revnibbles.arpa : dot separated nibbles reverse, ending with ip6.arpa.

       bitstring : bitstring labes, ending with ip6.arpa.

       ipv6addr : IPv6 address

       ipv4addr : IPv4 address

       mac : MAC address (48 bits)

       base85 : Base-85 string

       ifinet6 : Like line in /proc/net/if_inet6

       iid+token : Interface identifier and token

       ipv6logconv : ipv6logconv (currently not supported)

       prefix+mac : IPv6 prefix and a MAC address

       For examples and available format options use:
       --in <type> --examples
       [--out <output type>] : specify output type (sometimes: autodetect)

       We can see available output types to type "ipv6calc --out  -?",  "ipv6calc  --out  -h"  or
       "ipv6calc --out --help".

       Available output types :

       revnibbles.int : dot separated nibbles reverse, ending with ip6.int.

       revnibbles.arpa : dot separated nibbles reverse, ending with ip6.arpa.

       bitstring : bitstring labes, ending with ip6.arpa.

       ipv6addr : IPv6 address

       ipv4addr : IPv4 address

       mac : MAC address (48 bits)

       eui64 : EUI-64 identifier (64 bits)

       base85 : Base-85 string

       ifinet6 : Like line in /proc/net/if_inet6

       iid : Interface identifier

       iid+token : Interface identifier and token

       addrtype : Address type

       ouitype : OUI (IEEE) type

       ipv6addrtype : IPv6 address type

       any : any type (currently not supported)

       revipv4 : reverse IPv4, ending with in-addr.arpa

       For examples and available format options use:
              --out <type> --examples

       [--action <action>] : specify action (default: format conversion, sometimes: autodetect)

       We  can  see available action types to type "ipv6calc --action -?", "ipv6calc --action -h"
       or "ipv6calc --action --help".

       Available action types :

       auto : Automatic selection of action (default)

       geneui64 : Converts a MAC address to an EUI-64 address

       conv6to4 : Converts IPv4 address <-> 6to4 IPv6 address (prefix)

       genprivacyiid : Generates a privacy interface ID out of a given one and a token

       prefixmac2ipv6 : Generates an IPv6 address out of a prefix and a MAC address

       [<format option> ...] : specify format options

       <input data> [...] : input data.

              For example, "127.0.0.1", "::1".

       Other usage :

       --showinfo | -i [ --machine_readable | -m ] : show information about input data

       --showinfo | -i --show_types : show available types on '-m'

       To see old-style option use : --printoldoptions

       --printoldoptions :

       --addr2ip6_int

       --addr_to_ip6int

       --addr2ip6_arpa

       --addr_to_ip6arpa

       --addr_to_bitstring

       --addr2compaddr

       --addr_to_compressed

       --addr2uncompaddr

       --addr_to_uncompressed

       --addr_to_base85

       --base85_to_addr

       --mac_to_eui64

       --addr2fulluncompaddr

       --addr_to_fulluncompressed

       --addr2if_inet6

       --addr_to_ifinet6

       --if_inet62addr

       --ifinet6_to_compressed

       --eui64_to_privacy

       --ipv4_to_6to4addr

       --version : print version.

EXAMPLES

       To run this program the standard way type:

       ipv6calc --showinfo -i -m ::1

       ipv6calc --showinfo -m 127.0.0.1

       ipv6calc --showinfo --show_types

       ipv6calc --ipv4_to_6to4addr 127.0.0.1

       ipv6calc --addr_to_uncompressed ::1
