## Historique du projet et usages

tcping is a small command-line utility that checks whether a host:port pair is reachable by attempting a TCP connection instead of sending ICMP echo packets.

### Historique du projet

The upstream manual page says tcping came to be in 2002 as a basic TCP connection checker and as a way to fail fast before running network commands with long timeouts on Solaris, AIX, and Linux.

The GitHub repository for Marc Kirchner's tcping was created in 2016. The manual notes that IPv6 support was added for version 2.0.0 in 2023, while AIX and Solaris support was dropped.

### Historique d'adoption

tcping's adoption is modest but package-manager-friendly: it is a single-purpose diagnostic CLI, available through Homebrew and several other package ecosystems in the input facts, for cases where ICMP ping is blocked or irrelevant.

### Modes d'utilisation

Users run tcping with a host and port, optionally selecting IPv4 or IPv6 and setting second or microsecond timeouts. Exit codes distinguish success, failure, timeout, and error, making it useful in scripts.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Package nerds care because tcping is the minimal network probe people reach for when netcat is too general and ping tests the wrong protocol. Its behavior is small enough to document in a manpage and stable enough to script.

### Chronologie

- 2002: tcping created for basic TCP connection checks and fast failure before long-timeout commands.
- 2016: mkirchner/tcping GitHub repository created.
- 2023: Version 2.0.0 added IPv6 support and dropped AIX and Solaris support.

### Related projects

- ping, nc/netcat, fping, and hping are related network reachability tools; tcping focuses specifically on TCP connect checks.
