Is the sendto function capable of sending icmp packets?
The following code fragment is not working properly...
It runs on Un*x at the moment, and I'm hoping for some hint/direction for me
to alter it, or alter cygwin to get it working.
pingerLog outputs errno and strerror().
the first time the function is called, no error is set, but AFAICT, no
packet is generated.
The second, third, fourth.. time the function is called, error (2) No such
file or directory is returned.
I've done a strace on this (I'll attach it anyone wants). and it shows
cygwin_send recieving an error
WSAENOSOCK - unless I've got my wires crossed and this error turns up
elsewhere !
I know this is probably not enough information, and to run gdb, but as I am
not recieving a flat out crash, and do not know what the innards of cygwin
operating normally are, I thought I'd ask first.
Alternatively, if anyone knows of/has code that can send and icmp ping and
will compile and run under cygwin I'll happily take that and leave this
issue for a later date.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
