<h1> The s6-randomip program </h1>

<p>
  s6-randomip generates random IP addresses and prints them to
its standard output, one per line.
</p>

<h2> Interface </h2>

<pre>
     s6-randomip [ -4 ] [ -6 ] [ -n <em>max</em> ]
</pre>

<ul>
 <li> s6-randomip makes up IP addresses and prints
them to its stdout. It keeps running until it receives a signal. </li>
 <li> IP addresses are not guaranteed to represent anything. They are totally random. </li>
</ul>

<h2> Options </h2>

<ul>
 <li> <tt>-4</tt>&nbsp;: generate IPv4 addresses. </li>
 <li> <tt>-6</tt>&nbsp;: generate IPv6 addresses. Both the <tt>-4</tt> and
<tt>-6</tt> options may be given. If none is given, by default
s6-randomip will only generate IPv4 addresses. </li>
 <li> <tt>-n</tt>&nbsp;<em>max</em>&nbsp;: s6-randomip will only generate
<em>max</em> addresses, then exit 0, instead of running forever. </li>
</ul>

<h2> Notes </h2>

<p>
 s6-randomip can be used in conjunction with
<a href="s6-dnsname-filter.html">s6-dnsname-filter</a> to stress-test your
DNS architecture. Please use this responsibly and ethically.
