ipv6calc BUG: --printuppercase doesn't work. It is documented to work in version 0.45 and 0.50, but it does not work. --uppercase (the old option?), however, does. Proof:
$ ipv6calc --version ipv6calc: version 0.50 $ ipv6calc -q 'Itq!EN%BS(OvEV3?2kP!' --out ipv6addr --printfulluncompressed --printuppercase ipv6calc: unrecognized option `--printuppercase' 3ffe:81d0:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000:0003 $ ipv6calc -q 'Itq!EN%BS(OvEV3?2kP!' --out ipv6addr --printfulluncompressed --uppercase 3FFE:81D0:FFFF:0000:0000:0000:0000:0003 $ ipv6calc --out ipv6addr --examples ipv6calc: version 0.50

Available format options: --printlowercase: Print output in lower case --printuppercase: Print output in upper case <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< --printprefix: Print only prefix --printsuffix: Print only suffix --maskprefix: Mask prefix bits (suffix set to 0) --masksuffix: Mask suffix bits (prefix set to 0) --printstart <num>: Printing starts at bit <num> --printend <num>: Printing ends at bit <num> --printcompressed: Print in compressed format --printuncompressed: Print in uncompressed format --printfulluncompressed: Print in full uncompressed format

I also have a feature request: shorter options. Each option could be given a short one letter abbreviation, such as -i for --in, -o for --out, -6 for --ipv6addr, -U for --printuppercase, -u for --printuncompressed, and -f for --printfulluncompressed, so the above command would become ipv6calc -qo6fU 'Itq!EN%BS(OvEV3?2kP!'. ( -qo6fUi8 would be -q --out ipv6addr --fulluncompressed --printuppercase --in base85, and likewise -qi8o6fU would be -q --in base85 --out ipv6addr --printfulluncompressd --printuppercase.)
I think ipv6calc is a perfect example case study in what's wrong with long options. They are insane.
