Traceroute for Linux

5 man page should mention "asterisk" keyword verbatim - ID: 2462544
Last Update: Settings changed ( buc )

Hi,

traceroute(8) contains:

If there is no response within a
5.0 seconds (default), an "*" is printed for that probe.

IMHO it would be useful to extend this into

..., an "*" (asterisk) is printed...

since "sterisk" was the first thing I was searching for in that man page
(mostly since searching for the wildcard pattern * could be problematic)
and obviously did NOT succeed. "*" is a very important element of tcpdump
output, thus adding the "asterisk" verbatim spelling is especially
important, to let people locate it quickly.

Thanks a lot for a very useful tool!
