TRACEROUTE6(8)		OpenBSD System Manager's Manual		TRACEROUTE6(8)

NAME
     traceroute6 - print the route IPv6 packets take to network host

SYNOPSIS
     traceroute6 [-dIlnrv] [-f firsthop] [-g gateway] [-m hoplimit] [-p port]
		 [-q probes] [-s src] [-w waittime] host [datalen]

DESCRIPTION
     The traceroute6 utility details the route IPv6 packets take to reach a
     network host.

     The options are as follows:

     -d	     Debug mode.

     -f firsthop
	     Specify how many hops to skip.

     -g gateway
	     Specify an intermediate gateway (traceroute6 uses a 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 a maximum hoplimit.

     -n	     Do not resolve numeric addresses.

     -p port
	     Set UDP port number to port.

     -q probes
	     Set the number of probes 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
	     network, an error is returned.  This option corresponds to the
	     SO_DONTROUTE socket option; it can be used to ping a local host
	     through an interface that has no route through it (e.g. after the
	     interface was dropped by a routing daemon).

     -s src  Specify the source IPv6 address to be used.

     -v	     Be verbose.

     -w waittime
	     Specify the time delay between probes.

EXIT STATUS
     The traceroute6 utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO
     netstat(1), ping(8), ping6(8), traceroute(8)

HISTORY
     The traceroute6 command first appeared in the WIDE Hydrangea IPv6
     protocol stack kit.
