+Usage: $MYNAME [prettyping parameters] <standard ping parameters>
+
+This script is a wrapper around the system's "ping" tool. It will substitute
+each ping response line by a colored character, giving a very compact overview
+of the ping responses.
+
+prettyping parameters:
+ --[no]color Enable/disable color output. (default: enabled)
+ --[no]multicolor Enable/disable multi-color unicode output. Has no effect if
+ either color or unicode is disabled. (default: enabled)
+ --[no]unicode Enable/disable unicode characters. (default: enabled)
+ --[no]terminal Force the output designed to a terminal. (default: auto)
+ --last <n> Use the last "n" pings at the statistics line. (default: 60)
+ --columns <n> Override auto-detection of terminal dimensions.
+ --lines <n> Override auto-detection of terminal dimensions.
+ --rttmin <n> Minimum RTT represented in the unicode graph. (default: auto)
+ --rttmax <n> Maximum RTT represented in the unicode graph. (default: auto)
+
+ping parameters handled by prettyping:
+ -a Audible ping is not implemented yet.
+ -f Flood mode is not allowed in prettyping.
+ -q Quiet output is not allowed in prettyping.
+ -R Record route mode is not allowed in prettyping.
+ -v Verbose output seems to be the default mode in ping.
+
+Tested with Linux ping tool from "iputils" package:
+http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/iputils
