# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must make
# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also customary to
# leave one space after the ':'.

fping: Fping
fping: fping is a ping(1) like program which uses the Internet Control Message
fping: Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a host is up. fping is
fping: different from ping in that you can specify any number of hosts on the
fping: command line, or specify a file containing the lists of hosts to ping.
fping: Instead of trying one host until it timeouts or replies, fping will
fping: send out a ping packet and move on to the next host in a round-robin
fping: fashion. If a host replies, it is noted and removed from the list of
fping: hosts to check. If a host does not respond within a certain time limit
fping: and/or retry limit it will be considered unreachable.
