Package: ipcalc
Version: 0.41-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello,
I found that some features of ipcalc are not documented in the manpage. So here
is a patch, that:
* adds the long options;
* adds missing options: --split, --range;
* adds missing examples;
* adds some formatting for the synopsis.

Regards,
