A Program to Ping Multiple Hosts
FPing is a ping-like program that uses the Internet Control Message
Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a target host is
responding. FPing differs from ping in that you can specify any number
of targets on the command line or specify a file containing a list of
targets to ping. Instead of sending pings to one target until it times
out or replies, FPing sends a ping packet and moves on to the next
target in a round-robin fashion.
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 or retry limit, it is designated as unreachable.
FPing also supports sending a specified number of pings to a target or
looping indefinitely (as in ping).
Unlike ping, FPing is meant to be used in scripts. Its output is
designed to be easy to parse.

Revision 24 (latest revision is 39)
- Update to version 3.9: + Fix random output on socket error (#56). + Support ppc64le architecture by including alpha libtool version. + Fix compilation problem on FreeBSD (#57). + Initial test suite and continous intergration (with travis-ci.org / coveralls.io). + Don't output usage information on error. - Changes from version 3.8: + Fix segmentation fault introduced in version 3.7 with loop mode (#55). - Changes from version 3.7: + Allow running as non-root on Mac OS X by using non-privileged ICMP (#7). + Remove unnecessary IPv6 socket options. + Fix again compatibility issue with FreeBSD. + Fix fping hanging forever on permanent sendto failure. + Fix duplicate echo reply packets causing early stop in count mode (#53). - Changes from version 3.6: + Fix loop issue after 65536 pings (#12). + Minimum ping data size is now 0. + Removed setsockopt IPV6_CHECKSUM, which shouldn't be set and breaks compiling on Solaris. + Fix wrong min RTT value with -Q option (#51). - Drop export CFLAGS="%optflags -D_GNU_SOURCE -fwhole-program", it breaks the build.
