# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

fping6: fping6 (a ping like program to send ICMP echo requests to IPv6 hosts)
fping6:
fping6: fping6 is a ping(1) like program which uses the Internet Control
fping6: Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a host is up.
fping6: fping6 is different from ping in that you can specify any number of
fping6: hosts on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists of
fping6: hosts to ping.
fping6: This version of fping is compiled with IPv6 support, and additional
fping6: changes from Debian patch (including source address support).
