L2PING(8)		     System Manager's Manual		       L2PING(8)

NAME
     l2ping -- send L2CAP ECHO_REQUEST to remote devices

SYNOPSIS
     l2ping [-fhn] -a remote [-c count] [-i wait] [-S source] [-s size]

DESCRIPTION
     The  l2ping  utility  uses  L2CAP	ECHO_REQUEST datagram to elicit an L2CAP
     ECHO_RESPONSE datagram from a remote device.

     The options are as follows:

     -a remote
	     Specify the remote device to ping.  The remote device can be speci-
	     fied by either its BD_ADDR or name.  If name was specified then the
	     l2ping utility will attempt to resolve the name  via  bt_gethostby-
	     name(3).

     -c count
	     Number of packets to send.  If this option is not specified, l2ping
	     will operate until interrupted.

     -f      Do not wait between sending each packet.

     -h      Display usage message and exit.

     -i wait
	     Wait  wait  seconds between sending each packet.  The default is to
	     wait for one second between each packet.  This option is ignored if
	     -f has been specified.

     -n      Numeric output only.  No attempt will be made to look  up	symbolic
	     names for host addresses.

     -S source
	     Specify  the  local  device  which  should  be  used  to send L2CAP
	     ECHO_REQUEST datagrams.  The local device can be specified  by  ei-
	     ther  its	BD_ADDR  or name.  If name was specified then the l2ping
	     utility will attempt to resolve the name via bt_gethostbyname(3).

     -s size
	     Specify the number of payload bytes to be sent.  The  default  size
	     is  44 bytes.  It is calculated as minimum L2CAP MTU (48 bytes) mi-
	     nus the size of the L2CAP signalling command header (4 bytes).  The
	     maximum size is 65531 bytes.  Is is calculated as maximum L2CAP MTU
	     (65535 bytes) minus four bytes of payload reserved for  l2ping  in-
	     ternal  use.   Use  this option with caution.  Some implementations
	     may not like large sizes and may hang or even crash.

EXIT STATUS
     The l2ping utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

BUGS
     Could collect more statistic.  Could check for  duplicated,  corrupted  and
     lost packets.
