Well, it works like this
It says 'Pinging www.com' , so it is assumed that the person typing the command knows that packets will be sent. Replies are echoed to the screen, and after the command exits, you are presented with a summary of sent / rec'd / failed.
It works the same way under Unix and Linux as well.
