What is the source of the implementation of ping is Cygwin using?
It apparently isn't GNU ping (because in GNU ping, the number of pings to send is decided with -c X
, while in Cygwin ping, it's decided with -n X
).
Is it a custom ping? BusyBox ping? Toybox ping? NetBSD ping? OpenBSD ping? FreeBSD ping? Something else?
There's this github thread that confirms: https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/issues/153

ping
command in Windows, not any sort of *nixping
command. – reirab – 2019-09-11T21:37:30.937
