Network
Expand one CIDR into one IP per line.
overview
Between a CIDR source and a host-consuming scanner, Decant is the managed Network node that takes a single cidr-address and writes FILE plus FOLDER outputs of expanded hosts.
Reach for it when a port scanner wants concrete addresses and you only have network notation for one block. Pipe the range on stdin, or set cidr-address on the node.
For a file of many ranges, use decant-file. For aggregation or slicing instead of full expansion, mapcidr. Decant only flattens one CIDR.

use cases
Expand a range like 198.51.100.0/24 into individual IPs so a port scanner or prober can work from a flat host list instead of network notation.
Hand the expanded addresses to naabu, masscan, or rustscan, which want concrete hosts and let you sweep an IP range for open ports.
Convert mixed range and host inputs into a uniform IP list early in a workflow so every downstream node reads the same one-IP-per-line format.
Expand a provider's published CIDR block into addresses to enumerate and probe the hosts living inside it.

Use Decant when you have one CIDR and need a flat IP list for the next stage. For a file of many ranges, use decant-file. For CIDR math and aggregation rather than full expansion, mapcidr.
Same expansion from a file of CIDR ranges instead of one address.
Aggregation, slicing, and expansion when you need more than a flat list.
Prints each IP in a range. Comparable range-to-host primitive.
