+%description
+ipcalc provides a simple way to calculate IP information for a host.
+The various options specify what information ipcalc should display
+on standard out. Multiple options may be specified.  An IP address to
+operate on must always be specified.  Most operations also require a
+netmask or a CIDR prefix as well.
