This directory contains various wrappers for traceroute, which provide some compatibility for some another traceroute-like software, including tcptraceroute(8). These wrappers try to emulate the command-line interface only. The actual output is the output of the underlain traceroute(8). Some of options and features certainly are not supported (especially if it is considered too extra :) ). The idea of such wrappers is mostly not wrappers itself. It is to inspect the features implemented by competitors, whether it is already supported by us, or it is useful to be supported, or it is not useful or excessive. We have no plans to implement all features of all existing software. Let the people a chance to play with something... ;)
