NAME

6       irdaping - sends IrDA test frames
7

SYNOPSIS

9       irdaping [ daddr ] [ -s framesize ]
10
11

OPTIONS

13       daddr ...
14
15       -s framesize ...
16

DESCRIPTION

18       This  is a program similar to ping(8). It sends IrDA test frames (added
19       some userdata which contains the frame number and the  time  the  frame
20       was sent). You can change the size of the frame by using the -s option.
21       To get daddr you may use irdadump.
22
23       irdaping must be run as root or installed setuid root, as  it  requires
24       root privileges.
25

EXAMPLES

27       irdaping <daddr> [-s <framesize>]
28
29       You  may  use  an  alias,  which  does not use any parameter alias irp‐
30       ing="irdaping \`grep daddr /proc/net/irda/discovery|sed s/.*daddr://\`"
31       It works fine when there is only one discovered client.
