NAME

       fstat - file status

SYNOPSIS

       fstat [ -u user ] [ -p pid ] [ filename...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Fstat identifies open files.  A file is considered open if a process has it open, if it is the working directory for a process, or if it is
       an active pure text file.  If no options are specified, fstat reports on all open files.

       Options:

       -u    Report all files open by a specified user.

       -p    Report all files open by a specified process id.

       filename...
	     Restrict reports to the specified files.  If the file is a block special file, fstat additionally reports on any open files  on  that
	     device, treating it as a mounted file system.

       The following fields are printed

       USER  The username of the owner of the process.

       CMD   The command name of the process.

       PID   The process id.

       FD    The  file	number in the per-process open file table.  The special names "text" and "wd" mean that the file is the pure text inode or
	     the working directory for the process.  If the file number is followed by an asterick (*), then the file is not an inode, but  either
	     a	socket,  fifo, or has an error of some kind. In this case the rest of the entry is variable format, doesn't correspond to the rest
	     of the headings, and is enclosed in parenthesis.  The following paragraph describing sockets will explain the variable format.

       DEVICE
	     Major minor number of the device this file exists on.

       INODE The inode number of the file.

       SIZE  The size in bytes of the file.

       TYPE  The type of the file. (see sys/file.h)

       Sockets The formating of open sockets depends on the protocol domain.  In all cases the first field is the domain name, the second field is
       the  socket type (stream, dgram, etc), and the third is the socket flags field (in hex).  The remaining fields are protocol dependent.  For
       tcp, it is the address of the tcpcb, and for udp, the inpcb (socket pcb).  For unix domain sockets, its the address of the socket  pcb  and
       the  address  of the connected pcb (if connected).  Otherwise the protocol number and address of the socket itself are printed. The idea is
       not to duplicate netstat, but to make available enough information for further analysis.  For example, the addresses  mentioned	above  are
       the  addresses  which the "netstat -A" command would print for tcp, udp, and unixdomain.  Note that since pipe(2) is implemented with sock-
       ets, a pipe appears as a connected unix domain stream socket.  A unidirectional unix domain socket indicates the direction of flow with	an
       arrow ("<-" or "->"), and a full duplex socket shows a double arrow ("<->").

BUGS

       Socket information clutters the output.

       Since fstat takes a snapshot of the system, it is only correct for a very short period of time.

NAME

     sockstat -- list open sockets

SYNOPSIS

     sockstat [-clh] [-p ports] [-P pid|process] [-U uid|user] [-G gid|group]

DESCRIPTION

     The sockstat command lists open Internet or UNIX domain sockets.

     The following options are available:

     -c 	 Show connected sockets.

     -l 	 Show listening sockets.

     -h 	 Show a usage summary.

     -p ports	 Only show Internet sockets if either the local or foreign port number 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 pid|process
		 Only show sockets of the specified pid|process.  The pid|process argument is a process name or pid.

     -U uid|user
		 Only show sockets of the specified uid|user.  The uid|user argument is a username or uid.

     -G gid|group
		 Only show sockets of the specified gid|group.	The gid|group argument is a groupname or gid.

     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 or datagram) 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)).
