Hi Brennan,
Here's what I know about ping options, I invite others to fill in the
blanks.
'-d' sets the SO_DEBUG option on the socket in use. Don't know how
useful that is.
'-n <value>' means "ping host <value> times and quit."
'-L' suppresses loopback on multicast packages. If you're getting a
setsockopt error odds are good that your ethernet driver doesn't "do"
multicast.
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.
Cheers, Scott
Hi team,
I have finally gotten some more time to resume stack testing. I am <still> testing ping. I have some questions:
What does the -D option do? How would I test it? What does the -d option do? How would I test it? How should the -L option be invoked? Im getting a setsockopt error -2147483643 no matter what I do. What does -n do? I get the same output using the -v (verbose) switch as I do without it. Is this ok? Im assuming I cant test -r or -R until 'route' is fixed. Is this correct?
Otherwise, all other single command line options have been tested.
Thanks in advance for any responses...
Brennan Cleveland
