+Arping is an ARP level ping utility.  It's good for finding out if an IP
+is taken before you have routing to that subnet.  It can also ping MAC
+addresses directly.
+
+It broadcasts a who-has ARP packet on the network and prints answers -
+very useful when you are trying to pick an unused IP for a net to which
+you don't yet have routing.
+
+This requires libnet.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
