Subject: Update exit status description in man page
X-Git-Url: https://git.gsnw.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e4bae43d668ab09e07e14e3e00e5aa5da51436b8;p=fping.git

Update exit status description in man page

With the options -x and -X, fping does not require all hosts to
be reachable for an exit status of 0.

This addresses a comment in issue #99 suggesting such a man page
update.
