  Description     : Whatmask is a small program to help with
                    calculating a range of network settings

Whatmask can work in two modes. The first mode is to invoke Whatmask
with only a subnet mask as the argument. In this mode Whatmask will
echo back the subnet mask in four formats, plus the number of useable
addresses in the range.

To use Whatmask in its second mode execute Whatmask with any ip address
within the subnet, followed by a slash ('/'), followed by the subnet
mask in any format. (e.g. 192.168.0.23/255.255.255.224, or
192.168.0.23/27)

Whatmask will echo back the following:

    * The netmask in the following formats: CIDR, Netmask, Netmask
      (Hex) Wildcard Bits
    * The Network Address
    * The Broadcast Address
    * The number of Usable IP Addresses
    * The First Usable IP Address
    * The Last Usable IP Address
