-ipv6calc is a small utility written in programming language C to
-manipulate (not only) IPv6 addresses. Intentions were converting a
-given IPv6 address into compressed format, converting a given IPv6
-address into the same format like shown in /proc/net/if_inet6 and
-(because it was not difficulty) migrating the Perl program ip6_int
-into. Now only one utility is needed to do a lot.
