+cidr is a tiny command-line tool for determining network and broadcast
+addresses a la RFC 1878. It takes an IP address and netmask and
+outputs the network address, broadcast address, and total number of
+addresses for the corresponding subnet. The IP can be in binary,
+decimal, hex, or dotted quad. The mask can be in binary, decimal, hex,
+dotted quad, or prefix.
