Re: Request an enhancement about ping: easier parsing

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

I would love to see patches toward this, I am not sure what the best
design decision would be to make it flexible enough but also not
overly complicated.  It should allow somehow to add more ways to
specify such data.

Would maybe just a machine readable output from ping that is easily
parsable be suitable enough?  What are your thoughts on this?

Request an enhancement about ping: easier parsing

[rai...@aerario.fr]

Hello (again).
I am currently developping for my studies a script to monitor network
which requires the values given by ping and I was wondering why isn't
there an option on ping to give the values (latencies, percentage loss,
avg, etc) without requiring to parse because I find it quite ugly to parse.
I think it would be interesting to implement it.
