Question about a iptables rule?

Every time enter the following rule (thru a konsole session):

iptables -A INPUT -m iprange ! --src-range 4.79.142.192-4.79.142.207 -j LOG

iptables displays "hoho". The rule seems to work I do not want to log packets from grc.com (Gibson Research) which works and it logs all the other packets that I want it to log.

I am wondering what the "hoho" is.

Thank You

From the iprange source code:

Code:

if (invert) {

        info->flags |= IPRANGE_SRC_INV;

        printf("hoho\n");

}

It seems when you invert the souce range (!) it just prints hoho for the heck of it.
