# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| tcptraceroute: tcptraceroute (traceroute implementation using TCP packets) tcptraceroute: tcptraceroute: The more traditional traceroute(8) sends out either UDP or ICMP ECHO tcptraceroute: packets with a TTL of one, and increments the TTL until the tcptraceroute: destination has been reached. By printing the gateways that generate tcptraceroute: ICMP time exceeded messages along the way, it is able to determine tcptraceroute: the path packets are taking to reach the destination. tcptraceroute: tcptraceroute: tcptraceroute: tcptraceroute:
