Tested on Arping 1.2.2_6

FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT
If you put IP or MAC with extra space it will "ERROR: Invalid input."
I suspect the extra spaces should be ignored since we usually copy/paste IP and MAC.

I don’t believe this is a bug; it’s more of a feature request. The error message is already quite clear, though.

I can confirm that any whitespace is processed in the input.
This seems like like a Feature request and a simple input sanitization.
