address6(8) 🦋

okay so welcome to the IPv6 manual page for address6 — she's an icon, she's a converter, and she's here to help 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

address6 — literally just the name, no subtitle, main character energy only 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

address6 mac-address [ipv6-prefix]
address6 ipv4-address [ipv6-prefix]
address6 ipv6-address

Here's the vibe: if you hand address6 a mac-address or an ipv4-address, it converts that to an IPv6 address. If you don't pass an ipv6-prefix as the 2nd option, that IPv6 address is link local. If you hand it an ipv6-address instead, it prints the mac or IPv4 address. Either way it prints all possible variations ✨

Returns -1 on errors or the number of variations found. periodt 💅
