_**Disclaimer: Most IP operation does not involve expanding the IP address ranges to their individual IP address. You do not need de-aggregate the IP ranges to query them. To query IP address data your default choice should be our MMDB database and the [MMDBctl tool](https://github.com/ipinfo/mmdbctl).**_

[IPinfo CLI’s](https://github.com/ipinfo/cli) `prips` command can de-aggregate/explode IP to their individual IP addresses.

### Usage
