Hello folks
I'm hacking together a quick script to parse the output from the 'ip'
command on Linux, e.g.
$ ip a s
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP
qlen 1000
link/ether 00:19:b9:06:4c:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.1.7/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0
inet6 2001:dead:beef:cafe::1/64 scope global dynamic
valid_lft 86147sec preferred_lft 14147sec
inet6 fe80::1/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
-- which is straightforward. But then I need to process the IPv6
addresses to be able to extract subnet prefixes etc.
CPAN has so many IPv6-mangling modules that I don't know which to
choose, or which will emerge as the best/most stable etc. in the future.
Certainly some of the ones I've looked at are badly written or badly
documented or just plain broken.
Any recommendations?
cheers
Chris
