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 irp-
       ing="irdaping	  \‘grep      daddr	 /proc/net/irda/discovery|sed
       s/.*daddr://\‘"	It  works  fine	 when  there  is  only one discovered
       client.
