+This library also supports setting the `SO_MARK` socket option which is equivalent to the `-m mark`
+flag in standard ping binaries on linux. Setting this option requires the `CAP_NET_ADMIN` capability
+(via `setcap` or elevated privileges). You can set a mark (ex: 100) with `pinger.SetMark(100)` in your code.

 ### Windows
 
 You must use `pinger.SetPrivileged(true)`, otherwise you will receive
