Source: iputils Section: net Priority: optional Maintainer: Noah Meyerhans Standards-Version: 4.1.4 Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), xsltproc, docbook-xsl, libcap-dev, libgnutls-openssl-dev, libidn11-dev, bash (>= 3) Vcs-Git: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/iputils.git Vcs-Browser: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/iputils Package: iputils-ping Architecture: any Provides: ping Priority: important Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Recommends: libcap2-bin Description: Tools to test the reachability of network hosts The ping command sends ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to a host in order to test if the host is reachable via the network. . This package includes a ping6 utility which supports IPv6 network connections. Package: iputils-tracepath Architecture: any Suggests: traceroute Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Description: Tools to trace the network path to a remote host The tracepath utility is similar to the traceroute utility, but also attempts to discover the MTU of the path. Supports IPv4 and IPv6. Package: iputils-arping Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Recommends: libcap2-bin Conflicts: arping Description: Tool to send ICMP echo requests to an ARP address The arping command acts like the standard ping command except it pings a machine by its ARP address instead of its IP address. It is typically used to locate a machine if its hardware address is known but its IP address is unknown Package: iputils-clockdiff Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Description: Measure the time difference between networked computers Clockdiff computes the difference between the time of the machine on which it is called and the time of other network-accessible machines. The time differences measured by clockdiff are obtained using a sequence of ICMP TSTAMP messages which are returned to the sender by the IP module in the remote machine.
