NAME¶
irdaping - sends IrDA test frames
SYNOPSIS¶
irdaping [
daddr ] [
-s
framesize ]
OPTIONS¶
daddr ...
-s framesize ...
DESCRIPTION¶
This is a program similar to
ping(8). It sends IrDA test frames (added
some userdata which contains the frame number and the time the frame was
sent). You can change the size of the frame by using the
-s option. To
get
daddr you may use
irdadump.
irdaping must be run as root or installed setuid root, as it requires
root privileges.
EXAMPLES¶
irdaping <daddr> [-s <framesize>]
You may use an
alias, which does not use any parameter
alias
irping="irdaping \`grep daddr /proc/net/irda/discovery|sed
s/.*daddr://\`" It works fine when there is only one discovered
client.
