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.
