ipv6calc is a small utility written in programming language C to manipulate (not only) IPv6 addresses and is able to do other tricky things. Intentions were convering a given IPv6 address into compressed format, convering 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 utiltity is needed to do a lot.
