Usage

ping [-options]hostNameOrAddress Table 2-3 ping Options

Option	Description

-c count	Stop after sending count packets.

-i wait	Wait wait seconds between sending each packet. The default is to wait for
	one second between each packet.

-n	Numeric output only. No attempt will be made to lookup symbolic names
	for host addresses.

-q	Quiet output. Nothing is displayed except the summary lines at startup time
	and when finished.

-r	Bypass the normal routing tables and send directly to a host on an attached
	network. If the host is not on a directly-attached network, an error is
	returned. This option can be used to ping a local host through an interface
	that has no route through it.

	translates into 64 ICMP data bytes when combined with the 8 bytes of
	ICMP header data.
