ping(host, timeout=1)

Signature: ping(host: str, timeout: int = 1) -> Union[float, bool]

Ping a host and return the round-trip time in milliseconds if present, false if unreachable. Raises ClypRuntimeError on command failures.

Notes

The implementation calls the system ping command; options vary between OSes (the code uses Linux-style flags). On Windows the behavior may differ — consider using a platform-aware wrapper in production.
