ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Can anyone give me the easy code of ping command can I need it to see whether a machine is up or down in my code, I've found loads of ping code but all of them are very large and complex I need a simple one that can do the task.
I've looked at it its a bit kind of complex code so I was thinking that instead of copying that whole code in my program there might be a library available for that.
Pining a system via a network connection is not a simple task this is why the examples you are seeing are complicated.
As far as I know there is no system library that can accomplish this ( it is worth noting that there very well might be one on some exotic system) You can of course always write your own library.
or just use the system function but its not recommended.
