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)
- 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. (forwarded request 225188 from Zaitor)
