By default, the socket is innon-DEBUGGING mode.-f: Specifies to discard a packet directly instead of fragmenting it if its length is greaterthan the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the interface.-h ttl: Specifies the time to live (TTL) value of the ICMP ECHO-REQUEST packets inthe range 1 to 255. By default, the TTL value is 255.-i interface-type interface-number: Specifies the interface that sends ICMPECHO-REQUEST packets by its interface type and number. After the interface isspecified, the TTL of the ICMP ECHO-REQUEST packet is set to 1 to test thedirectly-connected device (the IP address of the device is in the same network segmentas that of the interface).ip: Specifies the device to support IPv4. By default, the device supports IPv4.-n: Specifies to directly regard the host argument as an IP address without performingdomain name resolution. By default, the host argument is first regarded as an IPaddress; if it is not an IP address, domain name resolution is performed.-p pattern: Specifies the padding byte pattern of the ICMP ECHO-REQUEST packets.The pattern argument is a byte in hexadecimal. For example, -p ff fills a packet with allffs. By default, the system fills a packet with 0x01, 0x02, and so on, until 0x09; then itrepeats this procedure from 0x01 again.
