HISTORY
       This program has long history. Author of traceroute is Van Jacobson and it first appeared in 1988. This clone is based on a port of tracer-
       oute to IPv6 published in NRL IPv6 distribution in 1996. In turn, it was ported to Linux by Pedro Roque. After this it was kept in sync	by
       Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru>. And eventually entered iputils package.

SECURITY
       tracepath6 requires CAP_NET_RAWIO capability to be executed. It is safe to be used as set-uid root.
