NAME

     traceroute6 -- print the route IPv6 packets will take to the destination

SYNOPSIS

     traceroute6 [-adIlnrv] [-A as_server] [-f firsthop] [-g gateway] [-m hoplimit] [-p port] [-q probes] [-s src] [-w waittime] target [datalen]

DESCRIPTION

     -A      Turn on AS# lookups and use the given server instead of the default.

     -a      Turn on AS# lookups for each hop encountered.

     -d      Debug mode.

     -f firsthop
	     Specify how many hops to skip in trace.

     -g gateway
	     Specify intermediate gateway (traceroute6 uses routing header).

     -I      Use ICMP6 ECHO instead of UDP datagrams.

     -l      Print both host hostnames and numeric addresses.  Normally traceroute6 prints only hostnames if -n is not specified, and only numeric
	     addresses if -n is specified.

     -m hoplimit
	     Specify maximum hoplimit.

     -n      Do not resolve numeric address to hostname.

     -p port
	     Set UDP port number to port.

     -q probes
	     Set the number of probe per hop count to probes.

     -r      Bypass the normal routing tables and send directly to a host on an attached network.  If the host is not on a directly-attached net-
	     work, an error is returned.  This option can be used to send probes to a local host through an interface that has no route through it
	     (e.g., after the interface was dropped by route6d(8)).

     -s src  Src specifies the source IPv6 address to be used.

     -v      Be verbose.

     -w waittime
	     Specify the delay time between probes.

EXIT STATUS

     The traceroute6 command exits 0 on success, and >0 on errors.
