It doesn't contain anything for a couple of reasons. - For ICMP you need raw sockets, but raw sockets were never really supported in Cygwin. - Windows disallows non-admin users to use them which makes them somewhat less useful. - There are not a lot of complaints about this fact so I assume not many people really need it. And last but not least - Nobody contributed any code so far. http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#SHTDI http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC http://cygwin.com/contrib.html Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
