DESCRIPTION
Ping <address> on device <interface> by ARP packets,
using source address <source>.
OPTIONS
-c count
-w timeout
-q
do not print any messages.
-D
duplicate address detection mode.
Returns 0, if DAD suceeded i.e. no replies
are received.
-U
Unsolicited ARP mode to update neighbours' ARP caches.
-A
The same as -U
, but ARP REPLY packets used instead
of ARP REQUEST.
If -s option is absent, source address is:
1. In normal mode calculated from routing tables.
2. In DAD (-D) mode set to 0.0.0.0
3. In Unsilicited ARP mode (-U,-A) set to <address>
WARNING
GENERAL NOTE: all these applets, except for tracepath[6]
should be excecutabel only with CAP_NET_RAWIO capability.
To all that I know, they are safe to be used as setuid root.
