337 Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core
338 instead of the default
341 Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the default,
342 which is the kernel image the system has booted from.
344 Show network addresses and ports as numbers.
347 attempts to resolve addresses and ports,
348 and display them symbolically.
350 In certain displays, avoid truncating addresses even if this causes
351 some fields to overflow.
354 The default display, for active sockets, shows the local
355 and remote addresses, send and receive queue sizes (in bytes), protocol,
356 and the internal state of the protocol.
357 Address formats are of the form
361 if a socket's address specifies a network but no specific host address.
362 When known, the host and network addresses are displayed symbolically
363 according to the databases
368 If a symbolic name for an address is unknown, or if
371 option is specified, the address is printed numerically, according
372 to the address family.

384 The interface display provides a table of cumulative
385 statistics regarding packets transferred, errors, and collisions.
386 The network addresses of the interface
387 and the maximum transmission unit
391 The routing table display indicates the available routes and their status.
392 Each route consists of a destination host or network, and a gateway to use
393 in forwarding packets.
394 The flags field shows a collection of information about the route stored
396 The individual flags are discussed in more detail in the

422 Direct routes are created for each
423 interface attached to the local host;
424 the gateway field for such entries shows the address of the outgoing interface.
425 The refcnt field gives the
426 current number of active uses of the route.
428 protocols normally hold on to a single route for the duration of
429 a connection while connectionless protocols obtain a route while sending
430 to the same destination.
431 The use field provides a count of the number of packets
432 sent using that route.
433 The interface entry indicates the network interface utilized for the route.
441 interval argument, it displays a running count of statistics related to
443 An obsolescent version of this option used a numeric parameter
444 with no option, and is currently supported for backward compatibility.
445 By default, this display summarizes information for all interfaces.
446 Information for a specific interface may be displayed with the
456 option represent the underlying parameters of the bpf peer.

459 The mapping between the letters and flags in order of appearance are:

463 .It Li f Ta Dv BIOCGHDRCMPLT No status: source link addresses are being
