=item B<PING_INFO_IDENT>
Return the ident that is put into every ICMP packet sent to this host. Per
-convention this usually is the PID of the sending process, but since liboping

+=item B<PING_INFO_RECV_TTL>
+
+Returns the I<time to live> (TTL) of the received network packets. This number
+depends on the value that was used by the remote host when it sent the echo

buffer should be big enough to hold an integer value.
