NAME

       irdaping - sends IrDA test frames

SYNOPSIS

       irdaping [ daddr ] [ -s framesize ]

OPTIONS

       daddr ...

       -s framesize ...

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  a program similar to ping(8). It sends IrDA test frames (added some userdata which contains the
       frame number and the time the frame was sent). You can change the size of  the  frame  by  using  the  -s
       option. To get daddr you may use irdadump.

       irdaping must be run as root or installed setuid root, as it requires root privileges.

EXAMPLES

       irdaping <daddr> [-s <framesize>]

       You   may  use  an  alias,  which  does  not  use  any  parameter  alias  irping="irdaping  \`grep  daddr
       /proc/net/irda/discovery|sed s/.*daddr://\`" It works fine when there is only one discovered client.
