'-n <value>' means "ping host <value> times and quit."
-n is usually "numerical" meaning no namelookups will be done.
-c <count> pings <count> number of times.
From an OpenBSD man page:
-----------------
-D Set the Don't Fragment bit.
-v Verbose output. ICMP packets other than ECHO_REPLY that are re-
ceived are listed.
---------------
Also, I've tried '-v' on three different strains of U*nix-like operating
systems (Linux, MacOS X, and hockey-pucks) and it doesn't do a durned
thing.
-v will more times than not show the same results as without it. You
would only get different results if some host along the path returns
something other than "Echo reply", such as "Destination unreachable",
"Redirect" or "Source quench".
