Support mac system?

[mozillazg]

First of all, I would like to thank you for your work! 👍

Do you have any plans for support mac system?

[thombashi]

Yes.
I planning to support for MAC.
However, I could not promise exactly when.
Since I have not possessed any MAC environment for now.

If you could provide me some of the ping command results (success cases/error cases/etc.) at MAC,
I can support MAC system more than faster.

arguments:

$ ping -h
ping: option requires an argument -- h
usage: ping [-AaDdfnoQqRrv] [-c count] [-G sweepmaxsize]

on some mac system ping {hostname} -q -t will raise an error because can't put arguments after hostname:

$ ping github.com -q -t 10

@mozillazg
Thank for your information.
That would be a great help.
I will try to implement support for MAC by your information.
(Probably in this weekend)

[thombashi]

@mozillazg
I had implemented MAC support at pingparsing 0.11.0
Please let me know if you have any problems at MAC environments.

@thombashi Thanks for your work. It worked as expected. 👍
