今天，我在阅读 traceroute 的手册页时看到了这样一段话：
“有几个附加选项，用于高级用法（另一种跟踪方法等）：”
我想建议在这里重新表述如下：
“还有一些用于高级用途的附加选项（例如替代跟踪方法等）：”
是否有任何已知的流程可以修复此类问题并将其传播到所有 Linux 发行版？这似乎应该是一项基本任务，但我找不到任何方法来实现。地球上有数十亿台设备安装了此手册页，因此，自至少 2006 年 10 月 11 日（手册页末尾的日期）以来，没有人调整过此内容，这让我感到特别奇怪。
答案1
手册页是软件包的一部分。查找它属于哪个软件包。按照该步骤返回上游到您的发行版，它们可能会提供指向上游存储库或开发人员的链接。转到那里，提交补丁，或按照为该项目定义的程序进行更新。
因此，在我的 Debian 系统上，我建议使用以下命令来找出上游开发人员。

Description-en: Traces the route taken by packets over an IPv4/IPv6 network
The traceroute utility displays the route used by IP packets on their way to a
specified network (or Internet) host. Traceroute displays the IP number and
host name (if possible) of the machines along the route taken by the packets.
Traceroute is used as a network debugging tool. If you're having network
connectivity problems, traceroute will show you where the trouble is coming
from along the route.
.
Install traceroute if you need a tool for diagnosing network connectivity
problems.
