TRACEROUTE6(8) BSD System Manager's Manual TRACEROUTE6(8)
traceroute6 - print the route IPv6 packets will take to the destination
traceroute6 [-dIlnrv] [-f firsthop] [-g gateway] [-m hoplimit] [-p port] [-q probes] [-s src] [-w waittime] target [datalen]
-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 probes per hop count to probes. -r -s src Src specifies the source IPv6 address to be used. -v Be verbose. -w waittime Specify the time delay between probes.
The traceroute6 command will exit with 0 on success, and non-zero on er- rors.
