Merge pull request #139 from abelbeck/fping6 
Add backward compatibility for fping6 sym-link

Using sym-links to select IPv6 is discouraged (because it doesn't work the same for IPv4), but I understand that this can help for some use cases (i.e. in particular for the embedded linux distro use case, where having two binaries is an issue). Also, I guess nobody is going to have a binary called fping6 and expect it to do IPv4, so, I guess, no harm done.

fping

fping is a program to send ICMP echo probes to network hosts, similar to ping, but much better performing when pinging multiple hosts. fping has a long long story: Roland Schemers did publish a first version of it in 1992 and it has established itself since then as a standard tool.

Current maintainer:
David Schweikert <david@schweikert.ch>

Website:
http://fping.org/

Mailing-list:
https://groups.google.com/group/fping-users

Installation

If you want to install fping from source, proceed as follows:

  1. Run ./autogen.sh (only if you got the source from github)
  2. Run ./configure with the correct arguments (see: ./configure --help)
  3. Run make; make install
  4. Make fping either setuid, or, if under Linux: sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep fping
  5. Have a look at the fping(8) manual for usage help (fping -h will also give a minimal help output)

Usage

See: fping man-page
