.SH NAME
ipmask \- determine network and broadcast addresses given a decimal netmask and IP address.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ipmask <decimal netmask> <decimal IP address>
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B ipmask
is a simple program to calculate broadcast and network addresses from a decimal netmask and a decimal IP address. It is used in the Slackware networking script /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1, and in the netconfig script.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \<decimal netmask>
A decimal netmask, such as: 255.255.255.0
.TP
.B \<decimal IP address>
A decimal IP address, such as: 192.168.168.168
.SH EXAMPLE
Using the above sample netmask and IP address, here's an example:
.TP
$ ipmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.168.168
.TP
192.168.168.255 192.168.168.0
.TP
The program returns first the corresponding broadcast address, and then the network address.
