We have ping(8), and ping6(8), we need to tell route(8) if we want -4 or -6 and so on and so forth. We dont need to rehash why IPv6 is treated as a stepchild, and even less if it is anybodys fault, at this point it is an artifact of history and just that. But isnt it about time we start in earnest to integrate things from a command line point of view? Even if for source code hygiene points if it amounts to no more than ping(8) re-execing ping6(8) when given an IPv6 argument ? -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
