When a process breaks, as I know no output will be return anymore. But always after breaking ping command we have the statistics of the execution, and as I know it's part of the output.

amirreza@time:~$ ping 4.2.2.4 PING 4.2.2.4 (4.2.2.4) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 4.2.2.4: icmp_seq=1 ttl=51 time=95.8 ms 64 bytes from 4.2.2.4: icmp_seq=2 ttl=51 time=92.3 ms ^C --- 4.2.2.4 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 92.321/94.052/95.783/1.731 ms amirreza@time:~$ 

How does it work?
