💖 GRCLI-PING6 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the General Commands Manual (section 1, the user commands girlies), and it's all about grcli-ping6 — sending ICMPv6 echo requests and then just... waiting for replies like it's texting first and hoping they answer. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

grcli-ping6 — send ICMPv6 echo requests and wait for replies. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ping6 DEST [[count COUNT] [delay DELAY] [iface IFACE] [ident IDENT] [vrf VRF]]
    Send ICMPv6 echo requests and wait for replies.

like literally, you hand it a DEST and then you can stack up the extras in those cute lil nested brackets — count, delay, iface, ident, vrf. and what does it do?? sends ICMPv6 echo requests and waits for replies. iconic behaviour, no notes. 🎀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

one bullet per option, no skips, no crumbs left behind:

  • DEST — the IPv6 destination address. this is who you're pinging, the main character of the operation. ✨
  • COUNT — how many packets you're sending. the packet count. that's the number. 💫
  • DELAY — delay in ms between icmp6 echo. so, millisecond gaps between your little echo pings. 🦋
  • IFACE — output interface name. which interface the packets leave through. 🚪
  • IDENT — icmp ident field (default: random). ooh she's mysterious — if you don't pick one, she picks a random one for you. 🙈
  • VRF — L3 routing domain ID. the routing domain she lives in, layer 3 flavour. 🌈
