This is a first step towards a unification/simplification of ping/ping6 (internally). The end goal is to produce a standardized user-facing output. Before (ping6): PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2001:db8::1 --> 2001:db8::2 --- 2001:db8::2 ping6 statistics --- round-trip min/avg/max/std-dev = 0.068/0.118/0.168/0.050 ms After (ping6): PING(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2001:db8::1 --> 2001:db8::2 --- 2001:db8::2 ping statistics --- round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.068/0.118/0.168/0.050 ms This has the nice side-effect of adding units to SIGINFO's statistics, as printing numbers without units may not be of much help. Also mentions the fact that these times are round-trip. Before (ping SIGINFO): 2/2 packets received (100.0%) 0.068 min / 0.118 avg / 0.168 max After (ping/ping6 SIGINFO): ``` --- <ipv4/ipv6 address> ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.068/0.118/0.168/0.050 ms ``` In the case of a SIGINFO, the output will be printed to stderr, for both ping and ping6.
