I'm very sorry. It's my fault, I should have called it
'Internet Protocol Calculator'.

It's at least the third time I wrote a tool like this (because allways
when I needed it, the machine which contained the sourcecode was not
available) and so I thought it would be useful for others too.

ipclc is a commandline Internet Protocol Calculator.
It can calculate the IP address, netmask, broadcast address, CIDR
(IP/bits), IP/netmask and interface name.
The input has to be an IP/netmask or IP/bits or an interface name.
It also can list all interfaces and their information.

Example:
print IP address, netmask and broadcast address:
# ipclc +anb 192.168.1.129/24
192.168.2.129 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.255

print name, ip address and netmask of interface eth0:
# ipclc +anNi eth0'
eth0 192.168.1.129 255.255.255.0

It can be compiled with the following statement on Linux:
gcc -o ipclc ipclc.c

Perhaps this tool is a bit to small for an own project. I would also be
happy if it could be included in another project which allready contains a
lot of tools.
