history
Project history and usage
prips is a command-line utility that prints every IP address in an explicit range or CIDR block and can also summarize suitable ranges in CIDR notation.
Project history
prips is maintained by Peter Pentchev. The official documentation describes a POSIX-oriented utility tested on Linux and BSD systems; its contemporary source tree includes a Rust implementation.
Adoption history
The supplied package facts show distribution through Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, and MacPorts, giving the small utility a presence across Linux, BSD-oriented, and macOS package ecosystems.
How it is used
Users pass a start and end address or a CIDR block to generate one address per line. Options can exclude selected addresses, change the increment, or convert a range to CIDR notation, making the output suitable for shell loops and host-oriented network tools.
Why package nerds care
prips is a representative Unix composability tool: it turns an address range into line-oriented output that can be piped into older single-host commands. Its compact scope also makes it convenient packaging material across POSIX systems.
