TABLEUTIL(1)		    General Commands Manual		  TABLEUTIL(1)

NAME
       tableutil -- converts and performs operations on	tables

SYNOPSIS
       tableutil -c commands
       tableutil -f file
       tableutil -q type [file]

DESCRIPTION
       tableutil can be	used to	convert	files with IP-addresses	and ranges and
       aggregate networks.  The	options	are as follows:

       -c commands
	       execute the commands specified by commands.

       -f file
	       file is the name	of the file with commands to be	loaded.

       -q type [file]
	       Quick-convert file from type to a CIDR-notation,	as used	by PF.
	       type can	be either 'text' or 'p2b'. The text format accepts ad-
	       dresses	 on   the   form   'n.n.n.n',	'n.n.n.n-n.n.n.n'   or
	       'n.n.n.n/n'. p2b	is the format used in the  lists  provided  by
	       blocklist.org.  If  file	is omitted, standard input is assumed.
	       p2b-files can be	either gzipped or uncompressed.

COMMAND	FILE/STRING
       The command file/string consists	of a series of statements separated by
       ;

GRAMMAR
       TODO...

EXAMPLES
       Example quick-conversion:

		     $ tableutil -q p2b	ads.p2b.gz

       Example command-file:

		     # Assign some values to some variables
		     $range = {	192.168.0.0-192.168.2.255 };
		     $cidr = { 192.168.3.0/24 };
		     $text = load(text,	"file_with_networks");
		     $p2b = load(p2b, "ads.p2b.gz");

		     # Do some calculations and	store them in some other variables
		     $table1 = difference($p2b,	$text);
		     $table2 = union($range, $cidr);
		     $table3 = invert( { 192.168.0.1 } );
		     $table4 = intersect( { 192.168.1.0-192.168.3.255 }, $range);

		     # Save some of the	variables, and a bonus,	to files.
		     save(cidr,	"table1", $table1);
		     save(range, "table2", $table2);
		     save(cidr,	"table3", $table3);
		     save(cidr,	"table4", $table4);
		     save(range, "table5", { 0.0.0.0/0 } );
		     save(single, "table6", $cidr );

RETURN VALUES
       tableutil can exit with the following values:

       0 Command completed successfully.

       1 Invalid arguments supplied.

       -1 Internal error.

BUGS
       Many, probably. And the man-page	needs improving.
