NAME

       prettyping - a better ping tool based on iputils-ping

SYNOPSIS

       prettyping [prettypingparameters] <standardpingparameters>

DESCRIPTION

       This script is a wrapper around the system's "ping" tool. It will substitute each ping response line by a
       colored character, giving a very compact overview of the ping responses.

   prettypingparameters:
       --[no]color
              Enable/disable color output. (default: enabled)

       --[no]multicolor
              Enable/disable  multi-color  unicode output. Has no effect if either color or unicode is disabled.
              (default: enabled)
