Add two new command-line options for labeling ping targets: -l, --label: Per-host labels - Each -l flag applies to the following host argument - Adds label with 2 spaces before host display - Example: gping -l "Cloudflare" 1.1.1.1 -l "Google" 8.8.8.8 -L, --global-labels: Global label mode with aligned columns - Arguments alternate: "label" host "label" host... - Use "" for hosts without labels - Labels truncated to 10 characters max - All hosts align vertically in same column - Example: gping -L "Cloudflare" 1.1.1.1 "Google" 8.8.8.8 "" 9.9.9.9 This helps identify hosts at a glance when monitoring multiple targets, especially useful for home lab and network monitoring scenarios where IP addresses alone aren't descriptive enough.
