NAME
       ping_construct - Constructor for the liboping class

SYNOPSIS
         #include <oping.h>

         pingobj_t *ping_construct (void);
         void       ping_destroy   (pingobj_t *obj);

DESCRIPTION
       The ping_construct constructor allocates the memory necessary for a
       liboping object, initializes that memory and returns a pointer to it.

       The ping_destroy iterates over all hosts associated with the liboping
       object obj, closes the sockets, removes the hosts and frees obj's
       memory.

RETURN VALUE
       The ping_construct constructor returns a pointer to the allocated
       memory or NULL if no memory could be allocated.
