ping's default is now not to attempt reverse DNS lookups. The -H flag will
enable them. This change is not quite a reversion of r351330. That change
made the happy path and error path do reverse lookups consistently; this
change changes the default for both paths.

This is the reverse of the -n flag.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

wait time for a packet. This allows to:
- Count number of packets received before and after specified
time.
- Shorten time of execution of 'ping -c 1' scripts.

ping ICMP payload of packets being sent is increased with given step.
Sweeping pings are useful for testing problematic channels, MTU
issues or traffic policing functions in networks.

This fulfills the host requirements for userland support by
way of the setsockopt() IP_EVIL_INTENT message.
There are three sysctl tunables provided to govern system behavior.
net.inet.ip.rfc3514:
Enables support for rfc3514. As this is an
Informational RFC and support is not yet widespread
this option is disabled by default.
net.inet.ip.hear_no_evil
If set the host will discard all received evil packets.
net.inet.ip.speak_no_evil
If set the host will discard all transmitted evil packets.
The IP statistics counter 'ips_evil' (available via 'netstat') provides
information on the number of 'evil' packets recieved.
For reference, the '-E' option to 'ping' has been provided to demonstrate
and test the implementation.

right; after a single packet was dropped it beeped after every
transmission.
Change its implementation to only output a bell when there is an
increase in the maximum value of the number of packets that were
sent but not yet received. This has the benefit that even for very
long round-trip times, ping -A will do roughly the right thing
after a few inital false-positives.

Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.
add an upper limit to -t
match the types of return values and the variables they are stuffed in

"The patch below allows to ping from any address on the multihomed host.
The man page is also updated, the text was cutted from traceroute(8)."

root-only. -c count limited to 100 and defaults to 16 when ping run
by non-root user.
This isn't necessarily the best statistic, but it is by far the easiest to
calculate. Update the man page to be more explicit about precisely which
statistics are printed out. Revert some of jmg's bogus man page changes from
rev 1.11.
