## 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*
