Hi all,

Executing the following results in a fierce crash:

     $ bash -c '{0..255}.{0..255}.{0..255}.{0..255}'

Brace expression expands all the value in memory.

Here you are actually telling Bash to expand 256⁴ or 4294967296 42 Billion
entries.

4.2 billion, but who's counting? :-)


Ah yes, my billions or off by ten folds.

Here is a single-loop version to absolve me of my arithmetical overstatement:

a=0
while [ $a -lt 4294967296 ]; do
  printf '%d.%d.%d.%d\n' \
    $((a >> 24)) $((a >> 16 & 255)) $((a >> 8 & 255)) $((a & 255))
  a=$((a + 1))
done
