SOCKSTAT(1)		FreeBSD	General	Commands Manual		   SOCKSTAT(1)

NAME
     sockstat -- list open sockets

SYNOPSIS
     sockstat [-46CciLlnqSsUuvw] [-j jail] [-p ports] [-P protocols]

DESCRIPTION
     The sockstat command lists	open Internet or UNIX domain sockets.

     The following options are available:

     -4		 Show AF_INET (IPv4) sockets.

     -6		 Show AF_INET6 (IPv6) sockets.

     -C		 Display the congestion	control	module,	if applicable.	This
		 is currently only implemented for TCP.

     -c		 Show connected	sockets.

     -i		 Display the inp_gencnt.

     -j	jail	 Show only sockets belonging to	the specified jail ID or name.

     -L		 Only show Internet sockets if the local and foreign addresses
		 are not in the	loopback network prefix	127.0.0.0/8, or	do not
		 contain the IPv6 loopback address ::1.

     -l		 Show listening	sockets.

     -n		 Do not	resolve	numeric	UIDs to	user names.

     -p	ports	 Only show Internet sockets if the local or foreign port num-
		 ber is	on the specified list.	The ports argument is a	comma-
		 separated list	of port	numbers	and ranges specified as	first
		 and last port separated by a dash.

     -P	protocols
		 Only show sockets of the specified protocols.	The protocols
		 argument is a comma-separated list of protocol	names, as they
		 are defined in	protocols(5).

     -q		 Quiet mode, do	not print the header line.

     -S		 Display the protocol stack, if	applicable.  This is currently
		 only implemented for TCP.

     -s		 Display the protocol state, if	applicable.  This is currently
		 only implemented for SCTP and TCP.

     -U		 Display the remote UDP	encapsulation port number, if applica-
		 ble.  This is currently only implemented for SCTP and TCP.

     -u		 Show AF_LOCAL (UNIX) sockets.

     -v		 Verbose mode.

     -w		 Use wider field size for displaying addresses.

     If	neither	-4, -6 or -u is	specified, sockstat will list sockets in all
     three domains.

     If	neither	-c or -l is specified, sockstat	will list both listening and
     connected sockets.

     The information listed for	each socket is:

     USER	      The user who owns	the socket.

     COMMAND	      The command which	holds the socket.

     PID	      The process ID of	the command which holds	the socket.

     FD		      The file descriptor number of the	socket.

     PROTO	      The transport protocol associated	with the socket	for
		      Internet sockets,	or the type of socket (stream,
		      datagram,	or seqpacket) for UNIX sockets.

     LOCAL ADDRESS    For Internet sockets, this is the	address	the local end
		      of the socket is bound to	(see getsockname(2)).  For
		      bound UNIX sockets, it is	the socket's filename.	For
		      other UNIX sockets, it is	a right	arrow followed by the
		      endpoint's filename, or "??" if the endpoint could not
		      be determined.

     FOREIGN ADDRESS  (Internet	sockets	only) The address the foreign end of
		      the socket is bound to (see getpeername(2)).

     ID		      The inp_gencnt if	-i is specified	(only for TCP or UDP).

     ENCAPS	      The remote UDP encapsulation port	number if -U is	speci-
		      fied (only for SCTP or TCP).

     PATH STATE	      The path state if	-s is specified	(only for SCTP).

     CONN STATE	      The connection state if -s is specified (only for	SCTP
		      or TCP).

     STACK	      The protocol stack if -S is specified (only for TCP).

     CC		      The congestion control if	-C is specified	(only for
		      TCP).

     If	a socket is associated with more than one file descriptor, it is shown
     multiple times.  If a socket is not associated with any file descriptor,
     the first four columns have no meaning.

EXAMPLES
     Show information for IPv4 sockets listening on port 22 using protocol
     TCP:

	   $ sockstat -4 -l -P tcp -p 22

     Show information for sockets using	either TCP or UDP, if neither, the lo-
     cal nor the foreign addresses are in the loopback network:

	   $ sockstat -L -P tcp,udp

     Show TCP IPv6 sockets which are listening and connected (default):

	   $ sockstat -6 -P tcp
