ICMP Ping library for Go, inspired by
|
||
|
[go-fastping](https://github.com/tatsushid/go-fastping)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here is a very simple example that sends & receives 3 packets:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
pinger, err := ping.NewPinger("www.google.com")
|
||
|
if err != nil {
|
||
|
panic(err)
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
pinger.Count = 3
|
||
|
pinger.Run() // blocks until finished
|
||
|
stats := pinger.Statistics() // get send/receive/rtt stats
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here is an example that emulates the unix ping command:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
pinger, err := ping.NewPinger("www.google.com")
|
||
|
if err != nil {
|
||
|
panic(err)
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
pinger.OnRecv = func(pkt *ping.Packet) {
|
||
|
fmt.Printf("%d bytes from %s: icmp_seq=%d time=%v\n",
|
||
|
pkt.Nbytes, pkt.IPAddr, pkt.Seq, pkt.Rtt)
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
pinger.OnFinish = func(stats *ping.Statistics) {
|
||
|
fmt.Printf("\n--- %s ping statistics ---\n", stats.Addr)
|
||
|
fmt.Printf("%d packets transmitted, %d packets received, %v%% packet loss\n",
|
||
|
stats.PacketsSent, stats.PacketsRecv, stats.PacketLoss)
|
||
|
fmt.Printf("round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = %v/%v/%v/%v\n",
|
||
|
stats.MinRtt, stats.AvgRtt, stats.MaxRtt, stats.StdDevRtt)
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
fmt.Printf("PING %s (%s):\n", pinger.Addr(), pinger.IPAddr())
|
||
|
pinger.Run()
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
It sends ICMP packet(s) and waits for a response. If it receives a response,
|
||
|
it calls the "receive" callback. When it's finished, it calls the "finish"
|
||
|
callback.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For a full ping example, see
|
||
|
[cmd/ping/ping.go](https://github.com/sparrc/go-ping/blob/master/cmd/ping/ping.go)
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Installation:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
go get github.com/sparrc/go-ping
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
To install the native Go ping executable:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
go get github.com/sparrc/go-ping/...
|
||
|
$GOPATH/bin/ping
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Note on Linux Support:
|
||
|
|
||
|
This library attempts to send an
|
||
|
"unprivileged" ping via UDP. On linux, this must be enabled by setting
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ping_group_range="0 2147483647"
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you do not wish to do this, you can set `pinger.SetPrivileged(true)` and
|
||
|
use setcap to allow your binary using go-ping to bind to raw sockets
|
||
|
(or just run as super-user):
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
setcap cap_net_raw=+ep /bin/goping-binary
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
See [this blog](https://sturmflut.github.io/linux/ubuntu/2015/01/17/unprivileged-icmp-sockets-on-linux/)
|
||
|
and [the Go icmp library](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/net/icmp) for more details.
