Description:

The "-c" switch is present in the list of possible switches in the manpage for ping (man 8 ping), yet unlike the other switches it is not documented in the "Options" section.

I propose the following documentation to be added for this switch:

-c count
Transmit count packets. If unspecified, transmit packets until interrupted.

Additional info:
ping is part of the package iputils; the version I'm reporting this about is 20150815.1c59920-3.
