All inetutils programs are now using argp to parse their arguments.
The only thing that remains is libls, but it understands only short
options and is not supposed to produce help output, so argp would
be useless here anyway.
Thanks Sergey, great work!
Question: do we really need to have ping and ping6 as separate
programs? Would it not be cleaner to merge the two into a single
utility?
I see why not, but I would not like to see a change in behaviour if
the program is called ping6 or ping.
Maybe we could do something like for dir/vdir/ls? Have
#ifdef IS_IPv6
...
#else /* IS_IPv4 */
...
#endif
cruft scattered around?
