+ help
+ Iputils previously generated separate "ping" and "ping6"
+ binaries for supporting IPv4 and IPv6 communication,
+ respectively. Recent versions of iputils have merged
+ support for both address families into a single program.
+ Select this option to install "ping6" and "ping4" symlinks
+ to the unified binary to support compatibility with
+ existing tools that may still expect to find the old
+ names.
