Just curious if there is any definitive guide that explains each flag and what the built in help context does not explain in detail, i.e. display acronyms (what is > for example), how to capture final results when not using --report, i.e. when I press q to quit it doesn't leave a report of the final result in the terminal history it just exits back to the prompt showing the command I originally initiated so I've been taking screenshots before quitting but there's got to be a better way, right?

I know I can run --report with a fixed amount of intervals and it leaves the result in the terminal but when I simply let it run for an hour and then want to quit and keep the results, is this in a log somewhere?

The part about "what is >" RTT is greater than the next-to-last value on 8-step log-scale [min..max], ~0.77max. It may look like this Scale: . less than 28ms   > greater than .   ? Unknown Scale: .:0ms 1:2ms 2:5ms 3:9ms a:14ms b:21ms c:28ms > Scale: ▁:0.9ms ▂:2ms ▃:5ms ▄:9ms ▅:14ms ▆:21ms ▇:28ms >

Thanks. Can you pls add this to the man page?

Fell free to provide a patch, in which case I think it's more likely to be added by the repository collaborator/owner. Alternatively to that man page, the scale description also can be added bellow the main output, for ex. like this https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yvs2014/mtr/master/img/ch-screenshot01.png

On this part, just recalled there was some workaround (from mtr author/collaborator) around here somewhere on this repo. One can save a mtr report after quitting just by running mtr inside of screen.

I moved from screen to tmux and like it better. Either one saves a configurable amount of screen output history. I start up tmux right at login and do all my work inside it. Highly recommended.
