Isn't netstat(8) a better place for such an option? domask() already
converts netmask to CIDR notation if possible, e.g. `netstat -ni'

   10.10.0.1/24
   10.10.0.1&0xff00ff00

Unfortunately, Network column is always truncated to 13 characters even
with -W flag while it can be up to 26 characters long with `-n' flag or
more with a symbolic network name.
