Ping without opening a window

Question

Is it possible to use the system("ping www.google.com") without opening a tab/window on your Windows machine, while still getting a return value?

If not, are there any other ways to ping a website without an external window opening, while still getting a return value?

I have already been though it and can't seem to find an answer @AyxanHaqverdili — Marc, Feb 12 '21 at 13:27
For windows example of C++ ping [is here](https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-classic-samples/tree/master/Samples/Win7Samples/netds/winsock/ping). — Arty, Feb 12 '21 at 13:31
Use Win32 API instead of `std::system`. Google "win32 ping" and see what comes up. — Aykhan Hagverdili, Feb 12 '21 at 13:35
