1 liboping – Library to ping IPv4 and IPv6 hosts in parallel
2 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
3 http://verplant.org/liboping/
8 liboping was inspired by ping, libping and fping: It differs from these
9 existing solutions in that it can “ping” multiple hosts in parallel using
10 IPv4 or IPv6 transparently. Other design principles were an object oriented
11 interface, simplicity and extensibility.
13 On top of liboping two command line applications have been built. “oping” is
14 a drop-in replacement for ping(1) with very similar output. “noping” is an
15 ncurses-based application which displays statistics while pinging and
16 highlights aberrant round-trip times.
22 • Support for multiple hosts.
24 • Support for IPv4 and IPv6.
26 • Object oriented interface.
32 Included in the source package of liboping are bindings for Perl. The code
33 resides in the bindings/ subdirectory and is compiled and installed by
34 default. To disable building the Perl bindings, call “configure” with
35 “--without-perl-bindings”.
