I've never had a need to do any bit twiddling in bash... thanks for this solution, It was very educational.

I would like to apply a netmask to an arbitrary IP in a bash/dash script

easy way to do that without taking the IP apart, doing 4 operations and
reassembling the results?

I know you said without disassembly/reassembly, but here are some
bash functions that apply the mask using disassembly/reassembly.

===================== begin =======================
to_int()
{
        # Convert from dotted-quad to integer
        local i=$1
        local OIFS="$IFS"
        IFS=.
        i=($i)
        IFS="$OIFS"
        echo $(((${i[0]}<<  24) + (${i[1]}<<  16) + (${i[2]}<<  8) + ${i[3]}))
}

to_ip()
{
        # Covert from integer to dotted-quad
        local d=$1
        echo $(($d>>  24)).$(($d>>  16&  255)).$(($d>>  8&  255)).$(($d&255))
}

and_ip()
{
        # And two ip addresses in dotted-quad format
        local ip1=$1
        local ip2=$2
        echo $(to_ip $(($(to_int $ip1)&  $(to_int $ip2))))
}
===================== end =======================

Just pass the ip and netmask to and_ip:
Example:

$ and_ip 11.22.33.44 255.255.255.0
11.22.33.0
