SYNOPSIS

#include <oping.h>
pingobj_t *ping_construct (void);
void ping_destroy (pingobj_t *obj);

DESCRIPTION

The ping_construct constructor allocates the memory necessary for a liboping object, initializes that memory and returns a pointer to it.

The ping_destroy iterates over all hosts associated with the liboping object obj, closes the sockets, removes the hosts and frees obj's memory.

RETURN VALUE

The ping_construct constructor returns a pointer to the allocated memory or NULL if no memory could be allocated.
