+=head1 NAME
+
+ping_construct - Constructor for the liboping class
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  #include <oping.h>
+
+  pingobj_t *ping_construct (void);
+  void       ping_destroy   (pingobj_t *obj);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<ping_construct> constructor allocates the memory neccessary for a
+liboping object, initializes that memory and returns a pointer to it.
+
+The B<ping_destroy> iterates over all hosts associated with the liboping object
+I<obj>, closes the sockets, removes the hosts and frees I<obj>'s memory.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUE
+
+The B<ping_construct> constructor returns a pointer to the allocated memory or NULL if no memory could be allocated.

+=head1 NAME
+
+ping_setopt - Set options for a liboping object
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  #include <oping.h>
+
+  int ping_setopt (pingobj_t *obj, int opt, void *val);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<ping_setopt> method sets options that effect all hosts associated with
+the object I<obj> and hosts that are yet to be added to the object.
+
+The I<obj> argument is a pointer to an liboping object, as returned by
+ping_construct(3).
+
+The I<opt> argument specifies the option to set. Use one of the following
+constants:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<PING_OPT_TIMEOUT>
+
+The time to wait for a "echo reply" to be received; in seconds. In this case
+the memory pointed to by I<val> is interpreted as a double value and must be
+greater than zero. The default is B<PING_DEF_TIMEOUT>.
+
+=item B<PING_OPT_TTL>
+
+The value written into the time-to-live (= TTL) field of generated ICMP
+packets. The memory pointed to by I<val> is interpreted as an integer. Valid
+values are 1 through 255. Default is B<PING_DEF_TTL>.
+
+=item B<PING_OPT_AF>
+
+The address family to use. The memory pointed to by I<val> is interpreted as an
+integer and must be either B<AF_UNSPEC>, B<AF_INET>, or B<AF_INET6>. Default is
+B<PING_DEF_AF>.
+
+=back
+
+The I<val> argument is a pointer to the new value. It must not be NULL. It is
+dereferences depending on the value of the I<opt> argument, see above. The
+memory pointed to by I<val> is not changed.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUE
+
+B<ping_setopt> returns zero upon success or less than zero upon failure.
