+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+|PROGRAM| |synopsis-options-hv|
+
+|PROGRAM| <multicast source> [<multicast group>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+|PROGRAM| is a program for initiating multicast traceroute, or "mtrace", queries.
+
+It can initiate two types of mtrace queries: weak and group.
+
+Weak tests whether the interfaces towards the source are multicast enabled and is
+initiated by supplying only the multicast source address.
+
+Group tests whether there is multicast routing protocol state for particular
+multicast group and is initiated by supplying mutlicast source and group.
+
+The first query sent is a full query, capable of crossing the network all the way
+to the source. If this fails, hop-by-hop queries are initiated.
+
+Hop-by-hop queries start by requesting only a response from the nearest router.
+Following that, next query is extended to the next two routers, and so on...
+until a set of routers is tested for connectivity.
