#
# ping.rb -- check a host for upness
#
#= SYNOPSIS
#
# require 'ping'
# print "'jimmy' is alive and kicking\n" if Ping.pingecho('jimmy', 10) ;
#
#= DESCRIPTION
#
# This module contains routines to test for the reachability of remote hosts.
# Currently the only routine implemented is pingecho().
#
# pingecho() uses a TCP echo (I<not> an ICMP one) to determine if the
# remote host is reachable. This is usually adequate to tell that a remote
# host is available to rsh(1), ftp(1), or telnet(1) onto.
#
#== Parameters
#
# : hostname
#
# The remote host to check, specified either as a hostname or as an
# IP address.
#
# : timeout
#
# The timeout in seconds. If not specified it will default to 5 seconds.
#
# : service
#
# The service port to connect. The default is "echo".
#
#= WARNING
#
# pingecho() uses user-level thread to implement the timeout, so it may block
# for long period if named does not respond for some reason.
#
#=end
