plugable bash functions

# Function takes two arguments, 1st arg= netmask, 2nd arg = return variable name
# i.e. 
# netmask2cidr MASK CIDR

netmask2cidr()
{
       local returnval=$2
       # Phase 1: Count how many 255 prefixes
       local mask="${1//255./xrandomx}" sfx=${1//255.}
       mask="${mask%%digit:*}"
       set -- ${#mask} ${sfx//./ }

# Phase 2: Convert the first non-255 number, rest is supposed to be zeroes

       mask="0--.128.192.224.240.248.252.254."
       mask="${mask//$2*}"
       local result=`echo $(( ${1} + ${#mask}/4 ))`
       eval $returnval="'$result'"
}     

similar to above, but opposite conversion

# function to perform cidr to dot netmask conversion
cidr2netmask() 
{ 
       local returnval=$2
       local maskpat="255 255 255 255" 
       local maskdgt="254 252 248 240 224 192 128" 
       set -- ${maskpat:0:$(( ($1 / 8) * 4 ))}${maskdgt:$(( (7 - ($1 % 8)) * 4 )):3} 
       local result=`echo ${1-0}.${2-0}.${3-0}.${4-0}`
       eval $returnval="'$result'"
} 

Here's the complete script to test these two functions and examples: cidrnetmask.sh:
