I think this assertion isn't needed because "ip" will check this and just throw
an error.

It would be nicer if the "ips" variable would be called "addresses" because that
is the term that we actually use most of the time.

You could also achieve this by passing the line argument up to the first space
and use the "%" and "#" parameters in the brackets.

I am not sure if the conversion to the array has any implications.

You don't need to call print here. This will create a subshell for the list_sort
call, but list_sort already prints the output, so you can just write:

  list_sort ${ips}

That will be a lot faster.
