+ipv6calc is a small utility written in programming language C to
+manipulate (not only) IPv6 addresses. Intentions were converting a
+given IPv6 address into compressed format, converting a given IPv6
+address into the same format like shown in /proc/net/if_inet6 and
+(because it was not difficulty) migrating the Perl program ip6_int
+into. Now only one utility is needed to do a lot.
+
+This utility was also used in the past to extend features on
+network-functions-ipv6 library, used by initscripts-ipv6.
+
+To enable IP2Location support you will need to install C-Ip2location
+first, and then pass:
+
+ IP2LOCATION=yes
+
+to this Slackbuild.
