It is much thinner historically than GNU grep or grc, but official repository materials document its role inside IPinfo's family of small IP-address CLIs. ### Project history The IPinfo CLI README describes grepip alongside sibling standalone binaries such as grepdomain, matchip, prips, cidr2range, cidr2ip, range2cidr, range2ip, splitcidr, randip, and mmdb. The grepip source exposes flags for only matching IPs, including CIDRs and ranges, selecting IPv4 or IPv6, disabling color, recursing through directories, and excluding reserved or bogon IPs. The GitHub release feed records grepip-specific releases beginning with grepip-1.0.0 on 2021-03-31 and continuing through the 1.2.x series. The grepip changelog records later additions for CIDR and range output flags and fixes for reserved/bogon edge cases. ### Adoption history grepip's adoption path is tied to the broader IPinfo CLI rather than to a standalone ecosystem. Homebrew packages it as its own formula, while the upstream README presents it as one of the extra binaries built from the IPinfo CLI repository. ### How it is used grepip scans standard input, files, or directories for IP-like text and prints matching lines or only the matching address tokens. Users can restrict matches to IPv4 or IPv6, include CIDR/range strings, disable color, and exclude reserved or bogon addresses. ### Why package nerds care grepip is useful to package-minded shell users because it separates IP extraction from IPinfo API lookup. That makes it a lightweight pipeline component for logs, pasted text, and files where ordinary grep patterns would be easy to get subtly wrong. Its significance is mostly practical rather than historical: it packages a common IP-address parsing task into a tiny binary with familiar grep-flavored options. ### Timeline - 2021: grepip-1.0.0 published in the official GitHub release feed. - 2021: grepip 1.1.0 and 1.2.0 followed in the same repository release feed. - 2023: grepip-1.2.2 release metadata appeared, and the changelog records bogon edge-case fixes. - Undated in changelog: grepip 1.2.3 added CIDR and range inclusion/output flags. ### Related projects - The ipinfo CLI is the parent repository and related command suite. - grepdomain, matchip, prips, cidr2range, cidr2ip, range2cidr, range2ip, splitcidr, randip, and mmdb are sibling standalone binaries listed by upstream. - The IPinfo bogon list is referenced by grepip help text for reserved-address filtering. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** grepip - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [cidr2range](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cidr2range/) - Shares the same upstream source repository. - [ipinfo-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ipinfo-cli/) - Shares the same upstream source repository. - [range2cidr](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/range2cidr/) - Shares the same upstream source repository. - [grepcidr](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/grepcidr/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, ip-filtering, ip-tools, ipv4, networking. - [ipcalc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ipcalc/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, ip-tools, ipv6, networking. - [sipcalc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sipcalc/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, ipv4, ipv6, networking. - [subnetcalc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/subnetcalc/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, ipv4, ipv6, networking. - [ahcpd](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ahcpd/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, ipv6, networking. - [babeld](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/babeld/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, ipv4, ipv6, networking. - [ddns-go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ddns-go/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, ipv4, ipv6, networking. - [inadyn](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/inadyn/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, ipv4, ipv6, networking. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
