This implementation provides better performance and eliminates the need for the system fping package while maintaining full compatibility with existing configurations. Key features: - Drop-in replacement with automatic fallback to system fping - Same output format and interface as original fping - No external dependencies when Rust extension is built - Complete test coverage and example configuration - Build script for easy compilation The implementation uses system ping commands internally to avoid raw socket permission requirements while still providing a native Rust experience.
