IPv4 Parser

Generated by OSS Project Generator.

A package to calculate subnet masks.

This package provides the following features:

• Allows you to parse an IPv4 address
• Provides the address, size, netmask, first and last addresses.
• Each address provides decimal, binary and hexadecimal values.

Installation

There are two ways to install node-ipv4: globally and locally.

To install globally:

# Install globally
$ npm install -g node-ipv4

# Check installation
$ node-ipv4 --version

To install locally:

$ npm install node-ipv4

Usage

There are two ways to use node-ipv4: globally and locally.

Globally

• -V or --version: output the version number

$ node-ipv4 --version
1.1.2

• -h or --help: output usage information

$ node-ipv4 --help

  Usage: cli [options]

  Options:

    -h, --help         output usage information
    -V, --version      output the version number
    -i, --ip [ip]      IP Address
    -c, --cidr [cidr]  Cdir block

• -i or --ip [ip: string]: enter the IP address

• -c or --cidr [ip: number]: enter the CIDR block

# without alias
$ node-ipv4 --ip 192.168.1.1 --cidr 8

# with alias
$ node-ipv4 -i 192.168.1.1 -c 8

# output

    "hexadecimal": "C0FFFFFF"
  }
}

Locally

const ipv4 = require('node-ipv4');

ipv4.parse('192.168.1.1', 16, (err, subnet) => {
  if (err) return console.error(err);

  console.log(subnet);
});

Output
