DESCRIPTION
       Description can be found in traceroute(8), all  the  references	to  IP
       replaced to IPv6. It is needless to copy the description from there.

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  traceroute
       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_RAW capability to be executed. It  is  safe
       to be used as set-uid root.

AVAILABILITY
       traceroute6  is	part  of  iputils  package and the latest versions are
       available in source form at  http://www.skbuff.net/iputils/iputils-cur‐
       rent.tar.bz2.
