Synopsis
ipv6calc [OPTIONS] [<input data>]
Description
This program formats and calculates IPv6/IPv4/MAC addresses and can do many more tricky things, e.g. includes a pipe filter capability.
Options
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> […]
- input data

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
Usage of filters in pipe mode:
- cat <Apache-Logfile> | ipv6calc -E ipv6.db.cc=US,iid-random
