.TH ETHERSTAT 1
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
etherstat \- Ethernet packet filter (PUP, Ethertalk) connections and statistics
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B etherstat
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Etherstat
|
|
is used to print the internal data structures for the Ethernet packet
|
|
filter, enet(4). It will show information
|
|
for all network protocols that use the packet filter. Currently
|
|
this includes Ethertalk and PUP.
|
|
.I Etherstat
|
|
prints information about each open connection, and then a summary.
|
|
The information is organized by device. Each packet filter device
|
|
corresponds to an Ethernet interface (e.g. ie0, le1).
|
|
.I Etherstat
|
|
will print both the minor device number and the corresponding
|
|
Ethernet interface name.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The Ethernet packet filter allows software to specify which packets
|
|
it is interested in using "filters" described as Polish operator
|
|
strings. In the most general case,
|
|
.I Etherstat
|
|
will print the filter associated with each connection as a Polish
|
|
operator string. However it will recognize a few commonly used
|
|
operator strings, and print them in a more human-readable form,
|
|
as Appletalk port numbers for Ethertalk connections, and as PUP
|
|
address specifications for PUP connections.
