Description:
The ping manual is missing part of the -c flag. The description is there but not the flag part ("-c count"). Additional info: * package version(s) 20140519.fad11dc-1 * What is seen (with context) """ -B Do not allow ping to change source address of probes. The address is bound to one selected when ping starts. Stop after sending count ECHO_REQUEST packets. With deadline [ping(8)] option, ping waits for count ECHO_REPLY packets, until the timeout expires. -d Set the SO_DEBUG option on the socket being used. Essentially, this socket option is not used by Linux kernel. """ * What should be seen (ignore formatting) """ -B Do not allow ping to change source address of probes. The address is bound to one selected when ping starts. -c count Stop after sending count ECHO_REQUEST packets. With deadline option, ping waits for count ECHO_REPLY packets, until the timeout expires. -d Set the SO_DEBUG option on the socket being used. Essentially, this socket option is not used by Linux kernel. """ Steps to reproduce: `man ping` and read PS: might be an issue with the osx command (package opensp). Ironically, the manual page for osx itself also seems a bit mangled. |
