ping time

[sjaiswal]

How can i get the time took to ping a server

something like
struct ping_result
{
min_time;
avg_time;
max_time;
}

struct ping_result result;
ping( char * server , char *opt , &result);

One way would be to use the system() function to execute ping with a redirect to a file. (Don't forget that you'll need to tell ping how many attempts to make [man ping]). Then open the file, and read the results. Build your structure and do whatever with it.
