Re: ICMP socket with Gambas

[Linus <olivier.cruilles@xxxxxxxx>]

I’m not a specialist of that and the only piece of code in C I found is that.

Here is the minimum of C code to send a PING request named an ICMP request (RAW socket using the Protocol ICMP) 

Not all the code is necessary to understand, even the fact the code is relatively simple.

I hope it could help to understand how to create a simple RAW Socket in C

I have tested the C code and it works correctly.
