liboping bindings for Rust: simple ICMP pings
This crate is a simple Rust binding for liboping, a library that implements basic ICMP ping functionality. These bindings allow a Rust program to send ping packets (possibly to multiple hosts in parallel) and enumerate the responses.
This crate also includes a very simple program rustping
that uses the
bindings to implement a barebones command-line ping utility.
This crate includes liboping
in its source tree (as a submodule) and builds
it into the Rust library, so there is no need to build and install it
separately. However, there are several dependencies required to build this:
- GNU autotools:
libtool
,autoconf
, andautomake
(These can be found as packages in most GNU/Linux distributions, and in OS X's Homebrew system, for example.) - A system C compiler (
gcc
or equivalent)
This crate was written by Chris Fallin <cfallin@c1f.net> and is released under the MIT license.
Documentation is available here,
and the crate is available as oping
on crates.io here.
NOTE: sending ping packets requires either running as root
or setting a
capability on your binary, at least on Linux. This is a restriction enforced by
the system, not by this crate. To set the capability, run the following as
root:
$ setcap cap_net_raw+ep $MY_BINARY # allow binary to send ping packets
