Is it sufficient to add INET6 support to ping(8) with consistent flags and keep CLI of ping6(8) backward compatible? People have used ping6(8) for >15 years, so it is too late to rename the flags. I do not think the renaming is useful if "ping -6 localhost" or "ping ::1" works. -- Hiroki ----Security_Multipart(Mon_Aug_26_04_20_56_2019_001)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEABECAAYFAl1i35gACgkQTyzT2CeTzy1D9gCgioFFIo6H4j0qGBdmJ1/ctDpL +zgAn0uVdU9nlHhWMaMtV1y7g72DqkDL =L9AM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Mon_Aug_26_04_20_56_2019_001)----
