Change Details

This change makes ping(8) show the timeout message when it does not receive an echo reply in time like this: % ping 192.0.2.1 PING 192.0.2.1 (192.0.2.1): 56 data bytes Request timeout for icmp_seq 0 Request timeout for icmp_seq 1 Request timeout for icmp_seq 2 Request timeout for icmp_seq 3 ^C --- 192.0.2.1 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss This is useful for diagnostics because the sequence number shows which packet was lost. The same behavior can be found ping(8) on macOS.
