>Description:
The usage statement in ping does not mention the -o option.
>How-To-Repeat:
ping -junk
ping: illegal option -- j
Usage: 
ping [-dDfnqrvRLP] [-c count] [-s size] [-l preload] [-p pattern]
     [-i interval] [-i maxwait] [-t tos] [-T ttl] [-I addr] [-g gateway] host

However, the -o option to ping a host once is supported, so it should
be mentioned.
