NAME

       prettyping - a better ping tool based on iputils-ping

SYNOPSIS

       prettyping [prettypingparameters] <standardpingparameters>

DESCRIPTION

       This  script  is  a  wrapper around the system's "ping" tool. It will substitute each ping
       response line by a  colored  character,  giving  a  very  compact  overview  of  the  ping
       responses.

   prettypingparameters:
       --[no]color
              Enable/disable color output. (default: enabled)

       --[no]multicolor
              Enable/disable multi-color unicode output. Has no effect if either color or unicode
              is disabled. (default: enabled)

              Enable/disable unicode characters. (default: enabled)
