I want to replace ifconfig with /sbin/ip. Using ifconfig I can see lines like 

inet addr:xx.xxx.x.xx  Bcast:xx.xxx.x.xx  Mask:255.255.255.0

and can easily parse this to find the netmask (255.255.255.0). How can I achieve this using /sbin/ip?

Running ip a you'll get output similar to that which you get running ifconfig. Specifically, you'll see a line similar to yours:

inet xx.xxx.x.xx/24 brd xx.xxx.x.xx

The /24 denotes the subnet mask in slash notation.
