New Revision: 357967
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/357967

Log:
  Make ping6(1) return code consistent with the man page.
   When every sendto() call originated by ping6(1) fails, current code always
   returns 2 ("transmission was successful but no responses were received")
   which is incorrect. Return EX_OSERR instead as in many cases it indicates
   some kernel-level problems.
