NAME

netstat − summarize network connections

SYNOPSIS

­netstat

DESCRIPTION

­Netstat prints information about network connections.  The following is presented for each connection:

connection name: the protocol and conversation directory in ­/net (eg.  tcp/8)
user name
address of each end of the connection (eg host and port if IP)
status of the connection

The information is obtained from the ­status file of each entry under the network directories /net/tcp, /net/udp and /net/il. 

­Netstat relies on a populated ­/net directory; the ­#I device must therefore have previously been bound there.
