320 The program will complain if
322 is unknown or if there is no statistics routine for it.
324 Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core
325 instead of the default
328 Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the default,
329 which is the kernel image the system has booted from.
331 Show network addresses and ports as numbers.
334 attempts to resolve addresses and ports,
335 and display them symbolically.
337 In certain displays, avoid truncating addresses even if this causes
338 some fields to overflow.
341 The default display, for active sockets, shows the local
342 and remote addresses, send and receive queue sizes (in bytes), protocol,
343 and the internal state of the protocol.
344 Address formats are of the form
348 if a socket's address specifies a network but no specific host address.
349 When known, the host and network addresses are displayed symbolically
350 according to the databases
355 If a symbolic name for an address is unknown, or if
358 option is specified, the address is printed numerically, according
359 to the address family.
360 For more information regarding
368 addresses and ports appear as
371 The interface display provides a table of cumulative
372 statistics regarding packets transferred, errors, and collisions.
373 The network addresses of the interface
374 and the maximum transmission unit
378 The routing table display indicates the available routes and their status.
379 Each route consists of a destination host or network, and a gateway to use
380 in forwarding packets.
381 The flags field shows a collection of information about the route stored
383 The individual flags are discussed in more detail in the

409 Direct routes are created for each
410 interface attached to the local host;
411 the gateway field for such entries shows the address of the outgoing interface.
412 The refcnt field gives the
413 current number of active uses of the route.
415 protocols normally hold on to a single route for the duration of
416 a connection while connectionless protocols obtain a route while sending
417 to the same destination.
418 The use field provides a count of the number of packets
419 sent using that route.
420 The interface entry indicates the network interface utilized for the route.
428 interval argument, it displays a running count of statistics related to
430 An obsolescent version of this option used a numeric parameter
431 with no option, and is currently supported for backward compatibility.
432 By default, this display summarizes information for all interfaces.
433 Information for a specific interface may be displayed with the
443 option represent the underlying parameters of the bpf peer.
445 represented as a single lower case letter.
446 The mapping between the letters and flags in order of appearance are:
448 .It Li p Ta Set if listening promiscuously
449 .It Li i Ta Dv BIOCIMMEDIATE No has been set on the device
450 .It Li f Ta Dv BIOCGHDRCMPLT No status: source link addresses are being

453 remotely on the interface.
454 .It Li a Ta Packet reception generates a signal
455 .It Li l Ta Dv BIOCLOCK No status: descriptor has been locked

465 .Bl -column ".Li R-MBUF"
466 .It Li R-MBUF Ta Number of mbufs in the receive queue.
467 .It Li S-MBUF Ta Number of mbufs in the send queue.
