.TH hath 1 .SH NAME hath \- Manipulate network blocks in CIDR notation .SH SYNOPSIS \fBhath\fR [\fBregexed|reduced|duped|diffed\fR] [\fB\-h\fR] [\fB-i \fIFILE\fR] \fI\fR .SH INPUT .P The \fIinput\fR (default: stdin) should be a list of CIDR blocks, separated by whitespace. Empty lines will be ignored, but otherwise, malformed entries will cause an error to be displayed. .SH DESCRIPTION .P Hath is a Haskell program for working with network blocks in CIDR notation. When dealing with blocks of network addresses, there are a few things that one usually wants to do with them: .IP \(bu 2 Create a regular expression matching the CIDR block(s). This is because grep will throw up if you feed it CIDR. .IP \(bu Combine small blocks into larger ones. For example, if you have two consecutive /24s, they might combine into a larger /23. .IP \(bu View the result of block combination in a useful way. .IP \(bu List them. .IP \(bu Find their associated PTR records. .P Hath does just that. It takes as its input (via stdin, or a file with the -i parameter) a list of CIDR blocks. .SH MODES .P Hath has several modes: .IP \(bu 2 \fBRegexed\fR .P This computes a (Perl-compatible) regular expression matching the input CIDR blocks. It's the default mode of operation. .P .nf .I $ hath <<< \(dq10.0.0.0/24 10.0.1.0/24\(dq ([^\.0-9](10)\.(0)\.(0)\.(0)[^\.0-9]|[^\.0-9](10)\.(0)\.(1) \.(0)[^\.0-9]) .fi .IP \(bu 2 \fBReduced\fR .P This combines small blocks into larger ones where possible, and eliminates redundant blocks. The output should be equivalent to the input, though. .P .nf .I $ hath reduced <<< \(dq10.0.0.0/24 10.0.1.0/24\(dq 10.0.0.0/23 .fi .IP \(bu 2 \fBDuped\fR .P Shows only the blocks that would be removed by reduce; that is, it shows the ones that would get combined into larger blocks or are simply redundant. .P .nf .I $ hath duped <<< \(dq10.0.0.0/24 10.0.1.0/24\(dq 10.0.0.0/24 10.0.1.0/24 .fi .IP \(bu 2 \fBDiffed\fR .P Shows what would change if you used reduce. Uses diff-like notation. .P .nf .I $ hath diffed <<< \(dq10.0.0.0/24 10.0.1.0/24\(dq -10.0.0.0/24 -10.0.1.0/24 +10.0.0.0/23 .fi .IP \(bu 2 \fBListed\fR .P List the IP addresses contained within the given CIDRs. .P .nf .I $ hath listed <<< \(dq192.168.0.240/29\(dq 192.168.0.240 192.168.0.241 192.168.0.242 192.168.0.243 192.168.0.244 192.168.0.245 192.168.0.246 192.168.0.247 .fi .IP \(bu 2 \fBReversed\fR .P Perform reverse DNS (PTR) lookups on the IP addresses contained within the given CIDRs. .P .nf .I $ hath reversed <<< \(dq198.41.0.4/30\(dq 198.41.0.4: a.root-servers.net. 198.41.0.5: 198.41.0.6: rs.internic.net. 198.41.0.7: .fi .P Each of the modes also supports a present-tense flavor; the following are equivalent to their counterparts: \fBregex\fR, \fBreduce\fR, \fBdupe\fR, \fBdiff\fR, \fBlist\fR, \fBreverse\fR. .SH OPTIONS .IP \fB\-\-input\fR,\ \fB\-i\fR Specify the input file containing a list of CIDRs, rather than using stdin (the default).
