+%description
+fping is a program to send ICMP echo probes to network hosts, similar to ping,
+but much better performing when pinging multiple hosts. fping has a very long
+history: Roland Schemers did publish a first version of it in 1992 and it has

-.TH fping 8
-.SH NAME
-fping \- send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to network hosts
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B fping
-[ \fIoptions\fR ]
-[ \fIsystems...\fR ]
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B fping
-is a program like
-.B ping(8)
-which uses the Internet Control
-Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a target host is
-responding.
-.B fping
-differs from ping in that you can specify any
-number of targets on the command line, or specify a file containing
-the lists of targets to ping. Instead of sending to one target until it
-times out or replies,
-.B fping
-will send out a ping packet and move
-on to the next target in a round-robin fashion.
-.PP
-In the default mode, if a target replies,
-it is noted and removed from the list of targets to check; if a target
-does not respond within a certain time limit and/or retry limit it
-is designated as unreachable.
-.B fping
-also supports sending a specified number of pings to a target, or
-looping indefinitely (as in
-.B ping
-).
-.PP
-Unlike
-.B ping,
-.B fping
-is meant to be used in scripts, so its output is designed to be
-easy to parse.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.IP \fB\-a\fR 5
-Show systems that are alive.
-.IP \fB\-A\fR 5
-Display targets by address rather than DNS name.
-.IP \fB\-b\fIn\fR 5
-Number of bytes of ping data to send.  The minimum size (normally 12)
-allows room for the data that
-.B fping
-needs to do its work (sequence number, timestamp).  The reported
-received data size includes the IP header (normally 20 bytes) and ICMP
-header (8 bytes), so the minimum total size is 40 bytes.  Default is
-56, as in
-.B ping.
-Maximum is the theoretical maximum IP datagram size (64K), though most
-systems limit this to a smaller, system-dependent number.
-.IP \fB\-B\fIn\fR 5
-In the default mode,
-.B fping
-sends several requests to a target before giving up, waiting longer for
-a reply on each successive request.  This parameter is the value by
-which the wait time is multiplied on each successive request; it must
-be entered as a floating-point number (x.y).  The default is 1.5.
-.IP \fB\-c\fR 5
-Number of request packets to send to each target.  In this mode, a
-line is displayed for each received response (this can suppressed with
-\-q or \-Q).  Also, statistics about responses for each target are displayed
-when all requests have been sent (or when interrupted).
-.IP \fB-C\fR 5
-Similar to \-c, but the per-target statistics are displayed in a format
-designed for automated response-time statistics gathering.  For
-example:
-
-% fping \-C 5 \-q somehost
-
-somehost : 91.7 37.0 29.2 \- 36.8
-
-shows the response time in milliseconds for each of the five requests,
-with the "\-" indicating that no response was received to the fourth
-request.
-.IP \fB\-d\fR 5
-Use DNS to lookup address of return ping packet. This allows you to give
-fping a list of IP addresses as input and print hostnames in the output.
-.IP \fB\-e\fR 5
-Show elapsed (round-trip) time of packets.
-.IP \fB\-f\fR 5
-Read list of targets from a file.  This option can only be used by the
-root user.  Regular users should pipe in the file via stdin:
-
-% fping < targets_file
-
-.IP \fB\-g\fR 5
-Generate a target list from a supplied IP netmask, or a starting and ending IP.
-Specify the netmask or start/end in the targets portion of the command line. If
-a network with netmask is given, the network and broadcast addresses will be
-excluded.
-
-ex. To ping the network 192.168.1.0/24, the specified command line could look like either:
-
-fping \-g 192.168.1.0/24
-
-or
-
-fping -g 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.254
-.IP \fB\-h\fR 5
-Print usage message.
-.IP \fB\-i\fIn\fR 5
-The minimum amount of time (in milliseconds) between sending a ping packet to any target (default is 25).
-.IP \fB\-l\fR 5
-Loop sending packets to each target indefinitely.  Can be interrupted
-with Ctrl-C; statistics about responses for each target are then displayed.
-.IP \fB\-m\fR 5
-Send pings to each of a target host's multiple interfaces.
-.IP \fB\-n\fR 5
-Same as \-d.
-.IP \fB\-p\fR 5
-In looping or counting modes (\-l, \-c, or \-C), this parameter sets the
-time in milliseconds that
-.B fping
-waits between successive packets to an individual target.  Default is
-1000.
-.IP \fB\-q\fR 5
-Quiet. Don't show per-target results, just set final exit status.
-.IP \fB\-Q\fIn\fR 5
-Like \-q, but show summary results every n seconds.
-.IP \fB\-r\fIn\fR 5
-Retry limit (default 3). This is the number of times an attempt at pinging
-a target will be made, not including the first try.
-.IP \fB\-s\fR 5
-Print cumulative statistics upon exit.
-.IP \fB\-S\fIaddr\fR 5
-Set source address.
-.IP \fB\-I\fIif\fR 5
-Set the interface (requires SO_BINDTODEVICE support)
-.IP \fB\-t\fIn\fR 5
-Initial target timeout in milliseconds (default 500). In the default
-mode, this is the amount of time that
-.B fping
-waits for a response to its first request.  Successive timeouts are
-multiplied by the backoff factor.
-.IP \fB\-T\fIn\fR 5
-Ignored (for compatibility with fping 2.4).
-.IP \fB\-u\fR 5
-Show targets that are unreachable.
-.IP \fB\-T\fIn\fR 5
-Set the typ of service flag (TOS). \fIn\fR can be either decimal or hexadecimal (0xh) format.
-.IP \fB\-v\fR 5
-Print
-.B fping
-version information.
-.IP \fB-H\fIn\fR 5
-Set the IP TTL field (time to live hops).
-
-.SH EXAMPLES
-The following perl script will check a list of hosts and send mail if
-any are unreachable. It uses the open2 function which allows a program
-to be opened for reading and writing. fping does not start pinging the
-list of systems until it reads EOF, which it gets after INPUT is closed.
-Sure the open2 usage is not needed in this example, but it's a good open2
-example none the less.
-.nf
-
-#!/usr/bin/perl
-require 'open2.pl';
-
-$MAILTO = "root";
-
-$pid = &open2("OUTPUT","INPUT","/usr/local/bin/fping -u");
-
-@check=("slapshot","foo","foobar");
-
-foreach(@check) {  print INPUT "$_\\n"; }
-close(INPUT);
-@output=<OUTPUT>;
-
-if ($#output != -1) {
- chop($date=`date`);
- open(MAIL,"|mail -s 'unreachable systems' $MAILTO");
- print MAIL "\\nThe following systems are unreachable as of: $date\\n\\n";
- print MAIL @output;
- close MAIL;
-}
-
-.fi
-Another good example is when you want to perform an action only on hosts
-that are currently reachable.

+
+Exit status is 0 if all the hosts are reachable, 1 if some hosts
+were unreachable, 2 if any IP addresses were not found, 3 for invalid command
+line arguments, and 4 for a system call failure.
+
+=head1 RESTRICTIONS
+
+If certain options are used (i.e, a low value for B<-i> and B<-t>, and a high value
+for B<-r>) it is possible to flood the network. This program must be installed as
+setuid root in order to open up a raw socket, or must be run by root. In order
+to stop mere mortals from hosing the network, normal users can't specify the following:
