ping
The ping utility uses the ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram
to elicit an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway. ECHO_REQUEST
datagrams (``pings'') have an IP and ICMP header, followed by a ``struct
timeval'' and then an arbitrary number of ``pad'' bytes used to fill out
the packet.

-h Specify maximum number of hops
