✨ ipv6logconv — bestie's guide to the log converter ✨

okay so picture this: you've got a whole HTTP server log file, and it's full of IPv4/IPv6 addresses, and you want statistics out of it. that's literally what ipv6logconv does. it's a manual page, section 8 (system tools energy 👑), and it's about to become your new obsession.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ipv6logconv — HTTP server log file converter for statistics 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cat /var/log/httpd/access_log | ipv6logconv [OPTIONS]

like. that's it. pipe your log in, get converted stuff out. iconic.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this program converts IPv4/IPv6 addresses in HTTP server log files. that's the whole vibe.

the converted output can be used to create statistics with analog. yes, analog, the classic log analyzer. it's giving retro but make it work.

it takes data from stdin, proceeds it to stdout. so pipe-friendly. so unix. we love to see it. 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

general options

  • -d, --debug DEBUGVALUE — sets the debug value (bitwise like, so think of it as a little flag soup 🍓). you can also set this through the IPV6CALC_DEBUG environment value, no cap.
  • -v, --version [-v [-v]] — version information, with 2 optional detail levels. so -v once is chill, -v -v twice is extra, and you know we love extra.
  • -v, --version -h — explanation of feature tokens. yes, this specific combo gets you the feature token lore 📖
  • -V, --verbose — be more verbose. talk more. spill the tea. ☕
  • -h, --help, -? — this online help, right here, your girl

performance options

  • -n, --nocache — disable caching. no storing, no remembering, just fresh every time 🧚
  • -c, --cachelimit VALUE — set cache limit; default: 20, maximum: 200. don't go over 200 bestie, that's the ceiling 💀

  • --out OUTPUTTYPE — specify output type. and the choices are:
    • addrtype — Address type
    • ouitype — OUI (IEEE) type
