Similar to B<-c>, but the per-target statistics are displayed in a format
designed for automated response-time statistics gathering. For example:
- $ fping -C 5 -q somehost
- somehost : 91.7 37.0 29.2 - 36.8
+ $ fping -C 5 -q somehost
+ somehost : 91.7 37.0 29.2 - 36.8
shows the response time in milliseconds for each of the five requests, with the
C<-> indicating that no response was received to the fourth request.
Read list of targets from a file. This option can only be used by the root
user. Regular users should pipe in the file via stdin:
- $ fping < targets_file
+ $ fping < targets_file
=item B<-g>, B<--generate> I<addr/mask>
excluded. ex. To ping the network 192.168.1.0/24, the specified command line
could look like either:
- $ fping -g 192.168.1.0/24
+ $ fping -g 192.168.1.0/24
or
- $ fping -g 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.254
+ $ fping -g 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.254
=item B<-h>, B<--help>
Generate 20 pings to two hosts in ca. 1 second (i.e. one ping every 50 ms to
each host), and report every ping RTT at the end:
- $ fping --quiet --interval=1 --vcount=20 --period=50 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.2
+ $ fping --quiet --interval=1 --vcount=20 --period=50 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.2
