                     41: .I Trpt
                     42: interrogates the buffer of TCP trace records created
                     43: when a socket is marked for \*(lqdebugging\*(rq (see
                     44: .IR setsockopt (2)),
                     45: and prints a readable description of these records.
                     46: When no options are supplied, 
                     47: .I trpt
                     48: prints all the trace records found in the system
                     49: grouped according to TCP connection protocol control
                     50: block (PCB).  The following options may be used to

                     54: in addition to the normal output,
                     55: print the values of the source and destination
                     56: addresses for each packet recorded.

                     67: .TP
                     68: .B \-f
                     69: follow the trace as it occurs, waiting a short time for additional records
                     70: each time the end of the log is reached.

                     97: .B \-f
                     98: option can be used to follow the trace log once the trace is located.
                     99: If there are
                    100: many sockets using the debugging option, the
                    101: .B \-j
                    102: option may be useful in checking to see if
