[Help-bash] Convert IP6 address to IP4

[Jerry]

I am looking for a Bash script that can convert an IP6 address to IP4 format.
I don't know if it is even possible in Bash but I thought I would ask.

Thanks!

Your first problem is that IPv6 addresses are 128 bits and IPv4 addresses
are only 32 bits.

Hi Jerry,
You cannot convert ipv4 to ipv6, as they are both distinct and independent adressing systems.It is
not only impossible with bash, it IS impossible.
