    How come that ifconfig prints netmask in hex?

    Isn't
       "inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0"
    more readable than
       "inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000"

    why 'route get x.x.x.x' gives mask in decimal?
    ;))

    Is it some posix standart or something historical or will it brake some
    scripts?

    I'm ok with hex, just want to know..

    ***
    ! printf("netmask 0x%lx ", (unsigned
    long)ntohl(sin->sin_addr.s_addr));
    ! printf("netmask %s ", inet_ntoa(sin->sin_addr));
    ***
