Install sipcalc on Manjaro i3

This is a handy command line tool that can calculate subnets for you. For example.

[andy@home-pc ~]$ sipcalc 10.0.0.0/16
-[ipv4 : 10.0.0.0/16] - 0

[CIDR]
Host address		- 10.0.0.0
Host address (decimal)	- 167772160
Host address (hex)	- A000000
Network address		- 10.0.0.0
Network mask		- 255.255.0.0
Network mask (bits)	- 16
Network mask (hex)	- FFFF0000
Broadcast address	- 10.0.255.255
Cisco wildcard		- 0.0.255.255
Addresses in network	- 65536
Network range		- 10.0.0.0 - 10.0.255.255
Usable range		- 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.255.254

It should be available in the community repository. If you’re using pamac, you can check with.

[andy@home-pc ~]$ pamac search sipcalc
sipcalc                                                                              1.1.6-4  community 
    an advanced console based ip subnet calculator.

And the install it with.

[andy@home-pc ~]$ pamac install sipcalc

Once installed, check out the help menu.

[andy@home-pc ~]$ sipcalc --help
sipcalc 1.1.6

Usage: sipcalc [OPTIONS]... <[ADDRESS]... [INTERFACE]... | [-]>

Global options:
  -a, --all			All possible information.
  -d, --resolve			Enable name resolution.
  -h, --help			Display this help.
  -I, --addr-int=INT		Added an interface.
  -n, --subnets=NUM		Display NUM extra subnets (starting from
				the current subnet). Will display all subnets
				in the current /24 if NUM is 0.
  -u, --split-verbose		Verbose split.
  -v, --version			Version information.
  -4, --addr-ipv4=ADDR		Add an ipv4 address.
  -6, --addr-ipv6=ADDR		Add an ipv6 address.

IPv4 options:
  -b, --cidr-bitmap		CIDR bitmap.
  -c, --classful-addr		Classful address information.
  -i, --cidr-addr		CIDR address information. (default)
  -s, --v4split=MASK		Split the current network into subnets
				of MASK size.
  -w, --wildcard		Display information for a wildcard
				(inverse mask).
  -x, --classful-bitmap	Classful bitmap.

IPv6 options:
  -e, --v4inv6			IPv4 compatible IPv6 information.
  -r, --v6rev			IPv6 reverse DNS output.
  -S, --v6split=MASK		Split the current network into subnets
				of MASK size.
  -t, --v6-standard		Standard IPv6. (default)

Address must be in the "standard" dotted quad format.
Netmask can be given in three different ways:
 - Number of bits    [/nn]
 - Dotted quad       [nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn]
 - Hex               [0xnnnnnnnn | nnnnnnnn]

Interface must be a valid network interface on the system.
If this options is used an attempt will be made to gain the address
and netmask from the specified interface.

Replacing address/interface with '-' will use stdin for reading further
arguments.

A useful option is to give it the -a parameter to show more (all) information.
