+      liboping is a C library to generate ICMP echo requests, better known as
+      "ping packets". It is intended for use in network monitoring applications
+      or applications that would otherwise need to fork ping(1) frequently.
+      Included is a sample application, called oping, which demonstrates the
+      library's abilities.
