# The s6-randomip program

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

## Interface

         s6-randomip [ -4 ] [ -6 ] [ -n max ]

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

## Options

- `-4` : generate IPv4 addresses.
- `-6` : generate IPv6 addresses. Both the `-4` and `-6` options may be given. If none is given, by default s6-randomip will only generate IPv4 addresses.
- `-n` max : s6-randomip will only generate max addresses, then exit 0, instead of running forever.

## Notes

s6-randomip can be used in conjunction with s6-dnsname-filter to stress-test your DNS architecture. Please use this responsibly and ethically.
