What is the ping switch for a continuous ping?

ping -c

ping -a

ping -r

ping -t

Option A (-c) specifies the number of packets to be sent, option B (-a) resolves the IP address to its hostname, and option C (-r) sets the maximum number of hops. Therefore, none of the other options provide the functionality of a continuous ping.
