Enhanced Ping Command Implementation

[smirk-dev]

✅ Enhanced Ping Command Implementation Complete!

🎯 Key Features Implemented

1. Hostname & IP Validation

• Validates input format before attempting connection

• DNS resolution with proper error messages for invalid hosts

2. Comprehensive Statistics Tracking

• Packets: Sent, Received, Lost with percentage calculation

• Round-trip times: Minimum, Maximum, Average in milliseconds

• Parses output from both Windows and Unix ping utilities

3. Enhanced Command Options

• -t: Continuous ping until stopped (Ctrl+C)

• -n : Specify number of packets (default: 4)

• -w : Set timeout in milliseconds (Windows)

• -l : Set buffer size (Windows)

• -c : Unix-style packet count

• -i : Set interval between packets (Unix)

4. Cross-Platform Support

• Windows (cmd ping)

• Linux/macOS (Unix ping)

• Automatic OS detection and appropriate command building

5. Error Handling

• Graceful handling of:

  • Invalid hostnames

  • DNS resolution failures

  • Network timeouts

  • Unreachable hosts

  • Invalid argument values

6. Enhanced User Experience

• Detailed help with usage examples

• Real-time output display

• Formatted statistics output

• Custom statistics when native command doesn't provide them

📋 Example Usage

# Basic ping
ping google.com

# Ping with custom count
ping 8.8.8.8 -n 10

# Continuous ping
ping 1.1.1.1 -t

# With timeout and buffer size (Windows)
ping google.com -n 5 -w 1000 -l 64

# Invalid hostname (shows error)
ping invalidhost123
