fping is a program to send ICMP echo probes to network hosts, similar to ping,

## IPv6 support
|
|
|
|
|
You can can compile fping with support for IPv6 addresses. A separate binary
|
|
|
|
|
is used for that, called fping6. To build it, use ./configure --enable-ipv6
|
|
|
|
|
(possibly combined with --enable-ipv4 to also build fping for IPv4). E.g.:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-ipv4 --enable-ipv6
|
|
|
|
|
# make
|
|
|
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
|
# sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /usr/local/bin/fping*
