tnsping source code wanted

Hi all,

I'm thinking about writing a Ruby extension to emulate tnsping. Is the source for tnsping (and its required headers) available somewhere?  Or is it closed-source? I checked on Google and oracle.com, but didn't find it.

To head off the inevitable, "Why would you want to do that?" type questions, I'll say this now:

1. Parsing backtick output is a pain, especially when the output differs on different platforms.
2. I feel like it.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
