Hackers,

In https://reviews.freebsd.org/D34882 I propose to split ping's option
-f into two options: one for flooding with ICMP (-f, no change in
behavior) and one for affecting the programs output (-., a new option).

That way we would be able to ping a host and not spam the terminal, and
no flooding would have to be involved. I've been doing this under Linux
as ping -fi1 host.

PS. In D32943, D32944, D32945 I implement the base64 command.

Piotr
