while I don't know if it is actually RFC5952-compliant, if you look for
a scriptable tool, then the swiss army knife style tool for the job
should be Peter Bieringer's ipv6calc.  It ships with various Linux
distributions, is open source and if you just want to ensure some sort
of canonical representation to allow for string comparison, then it is
the tool of choice in any Unixish environment.


Cheers,
