  -c count     number of ICMP packets to send
  -i interval  interval with which to send ICMP packets
  -w timeout   time to wait for replies, in seconds
  -t ttl       time to live for each ICMP packet
  -Q qos       Quality of Service (QoS) of outgoing packets
               Use "-Q help" for a list of valid options.
  -I srcaddr   source address
  -D device    outgoing interface name
  -m mark      mark to set on outgoing packets
  -f filename  read hosts from <filename>
  -O filename  write RTT measurements to <filename>
