49 This function is used to asynchronously send a <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-5.5.2" target="_top">ping
50 frame</a>, which usually elicits an automatic pong control frame response
53 <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
55 The ping frame is written.
62 The algorithm, known as a <span class="emphasis"><em>composed asynchronous operation</em></span>,
63 is implemented in terms of calls to the next layer's <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">async_write_some</span></code>
64 function. The program must ensure that no other calls to <a class="link" href="ping.html" title="websocket::stream::ping"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">websocket</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">ping</span></code></a>, <a class="link" href="pong.html" title="websocket::stream::pong"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">websocket</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pong</span></code></a>, <a class="link" href="async_ping.html" title="websocket::stream::async_ping"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">websocket</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">async_ping</span></code></a>, or <a class="link" href="async_pong.html" title="websocket::stream::async_pong"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">websocket</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">async_pong</span></code></a> are performed until
65 this operation completes. If a close frame is sent or received before the
66 ping frame is sent, the error received by this completion handler will
67 be <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">net</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">error</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">operation_aborted</span></code>.

100 will not access the contents of this object after the initiating

113 The completion handler to invoke when the operation completes.
114 The implementation takes ownership of the handler by performing
115 a decay-copy. The equivalent function signature of the handler

123 Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately
124 or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function.
125 Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent
126 to using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">net</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">post</span></code>.
