- print the route IPv6 packets will take to the destination
SYNOPSIS
traceroute6
[-dIlnrv]
[-f firsthop]
[-g gateway]
[-m hoplimit]
[-p port]
[-q probes]
[-s src]
[-w waittime]
target
[datalen]
DESCRIPTION
- -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 network,
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.

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