TCP/IP Network Status Utility (netstat)
(Page 3 of 6)

UNIX netstat Universal Options and Parameters

Most of the options shown in these option groups are particular to those groups; for example, you cannot use “-s” when issuing the command “netstat -i”. However, there are also a number of universal options that can be used with more than one of these groups to modify the behavior of netstat variations in a consistent way. These options are described in Table 297.


Table 297: Typical UNIX netstat Universal Options and Parameters

Option / Parameters

Description

-f <family>

Limits the output of the command to information on a particular protocol address family, for hosts running multiple protocol suites. For example, the address family for regular TCP/IP is “inet”, while for IPv6 it is “inet6”. Others may also be supported.

-p <protocol>

Restricts output to data related only to a particular protocol, such as IP, TCP, UDP, or ICMP.

-n

Shows network addresses in numeric form, instead of showing them as symbolic names. Also shows ports as numbers instead of converting well-known UDP and TCP port numbers to the protocol names that use them (for example, “23” rather than “telnet”).

-W

Suppresses the automatic truncation of addresses (which is sometimes done for display formatting).
