+     "fping is a ping like program which uses the Internet Control Message
+Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a target host is responding.
+fping differs from ping in that you can specify any number of targets on the
+command line, or specify a file containing the lists of targets to ping.
+Instead of sending to one target until it times out or replies, fping will
+send out a ping packet and move on to the next target in a round-robin
+fashion.")
