Thanks,  good to know.
btw, I use the following POSIX shell function (IPv4, or course):

    ip2hex () { printf "%.2X%.2X%.2X%.2X\n" $( echo ${1:-$(hostname -i)} |
tr '.' ' ') ;}

ip2hex w/o argument gets you the current machine's hex format IP, 'ip2hex
IPADDR' converts an ipaddress to hex format

    ip2hex_le() { ip2hex ${1:?Must Specify an IP Address} | sed -e
's/\(..\)\(..\)\(..\)\(..\)/\2\1\4\3/'  ;}

gets you little-endian format (forget why i needed that)
