Getting Socket statistics
Is there any way to get the file descriptor statistics of a socket file descriptor? I know that the fstat, stat system calls are for this purpose, but I want to know it there any way to get socket connection statistics for a file descriptor(like socket flags, connection type etc).

Does /proc hold this information?

Please help...

/proc/net/sockstat holds some info like :
Quote:
cat /proc/net/sockstat
sockets: used 340
TCP: inuse 12 orphan 0 tw 0 alloc 25 mem 6
UDP: inuse 8
UDPLITE: inuse 0
RAW: inuse 1
FRAG: inuse 0 memory 0
, there is a handy perl module for that as well. HTH.

Thanks a lot for the update.

Does AIX hold this information?

No, I don't think so, I just checked AIX 5.3, but I can't find such file there.
