All of those indicate in the man page that netmask can either be a 
dotted quad or a CIDR mask length.

Ironically, a CIDR netmask in the address was not recognized until 
wheezy, which is hardly forever. Prior to that the netmask was mandatory 
(and only recognized the dotted quad format).

Classless Inter-Domain Routing. Since that probably didn't clear 
anything up, you likely need to do some googling. "CIDR" is probably a 
better keyword than "Classless Inter-Domain Routing" so this is a good 
example of a case where the acronym is best understood (and used) 
without expansion.
