Ze command
Description
Sends ICMP echo requests to <dest> (IP or hostname). Default count is 5.
Timeout uses Go duration syntax (e.g. 3s, 500ms). Confirms reachability from
this box, not from your workstation.
Arguments
| Name | Type | Required | Values | Summary | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
dest | string | no | any value of this type | Target host or IP address. | The value is the first bare word of the command. A host name is resolved in either address family, and the family of the answer selects ICMPv4 or ICMPv6. |
count | uint | no | any value of this type | Number of ping packets. | The value is the number of echo requests Ze sends, 1 to 100, paced 10 milliseconds apart. Absent, the value is 5. |
size | uint | no | any value of this type | ICMP echo payload size in bytes (1-65507). Omit for the engine default. | Ze fills the payload to exactly this many bytes, with its marker copied into the front so a capture still identifies the sender. |
timeout | string | no | any value of this type | Timeout duration. | The value is the time Ze waits for each reply, in Go duration syntax, 1s to 30s. Absent, the value is 5s. |
do-not-fragment | enum | no | honor-cache bypass-cache | Set the Don't Fragment bit; honor-cache obeys the cached path MTU, bypass-cache ignores it. | The keyword takes one of two values. honor-cache sets the Don't Fragment bit and honors the kernel's cached path MTU: a probe larger than the cached value is refused at send time, and a router's Fragmentation Needed answer updates the cache. bypass-cache sets the bit and ignores the cached value, so the probe is put on the wire at its full size. Absent, the kernel fragments a probe larger than the path, which is the behavior of before the keyword existed. |
