liboping Description

A library inspired by ping, libping and fping. liboping was inspired by ping, libping and fping: liboping differs from these existing solutions in that it can `ping' multiple hosts in parallel using IPv6 or IPv4 transparently.Other design principles were an object oriented interface, simplicity and extensibility.Since version 1.0 has not yet been reached the interface is not yet stable. However, huge changes are not to be expected.A simple binary, called oping is included. It is like ping, ping6, and fping rolled into one. What's New in This Release: · A bug in the select(2) has been identified which led to indefinite, busy looping if a file descriptor entered an error state. The error handling has been fixed and the loop is now exited gracefully. The oping utility will now temporarily drop privileges to open files specified with “-f” if supported by the system. This way files are opened with the user's rights even when the binary is installed SetUID-root. An off-by-one error has been fixed in Net::Oping, the Perl bindings for liboping.
