This target marks packets so that the kernel will log every rule which match
the packets as those traverse the tables, chains, rules. It can only be used in
the
.BR raw
table.
.PP
With iptables-legacy, a logging backend, such as ip(6)t_LOG or nfnetlink_log,
must be loaded for this to be visible.
The packets are logged with the string prefix:
"TRACE: tablename:chainname:type:rulenum " where type can be "rule" for
plain rule, "return" for implicit rule at the end of a user defined chain
and "policy" for the policy of the built in chains.
.PP
With iptables-nft, the target is translated into nftables'
.B "meta nftrace"
expression. Hence the kernel sends trace events via netlink to userspace where
they may be displayed using
.B "xtables-monitor --trace"
command. For details, refer to
.BR xtables-monitor (8).
