caracat (always in lowercase) is a port of [caracal](https://github.com/dioptra-io/caracal/) from C++ to Rust.

The initial motivation was to benefit from a saner build system to make the project easier to maintain.

The architecture is very similar between the two projects and the input/output format is the same.

Versions > 1.0.0 might break this compatibility to fix some idiosyncrasies inherited by caracal.

Multiple example binaries are provided:

```bash

# Traceroute tool

cargo run --example traceroute -- --help

# Implementation of yarrp

cargo run --example yarrp -- --help

```

Example traceroute run:

```bash

# cargo run --example traceroute -- --as-path-lookups --first=3 google.com

traceroute to 2a00:1450:4007:80e::200e (google.com), 30 hops max, ?? byte packets
