The Nroff man pages aren't really able to render superscripts (AFAICT) and so 2^32 was rendering as just 232. So I changed it to just say that Nping will run continuously if '-c 0' is specified. If it really stops after 4 billion rounds, that is a bug that we should probably fix at some point

This option lets you specify the number of times that Nping should loop over target hosts (and in some cases target ports)\&. Nping calls these
\(lqrounds\(rq\&. In a basic execution with only one target (and only one target port in TCP/UDP modes), the number of rounds matches the number of probes sent to the target host\&. However, in more complex executions where Nping is run against multiple targets and multiple ports, the number of rounds is the number of times that Nping sends a complete set of probes that covers all target IPs and all target ports\&. For example, if Nping is asked to send TCP SYN packets to hosts 192\&.168\&.1\&.0\-255 and ports 80 and 433, then 256 \(mu 2\ \&=\ \&512 packets are sent in one round\&. So if you specify
\fB\-c 100\fR, Nping will loop over the different target hosts and ports 100 times, sending a total of 256 \(mu 2 \(mu 100\ \&=\ \&51200 packets\&. By default Nping runs for 5 rounds\&. If a value of 0 is specified, Nping will run for 232
rounds\&.
