The sockstat command lists open Internet or Unix domain sockets.
The following options are available:
-4 Show IPv4 sockets only.
-6 Show IPv6 sockets only.
-u Also show unix sockets.
-c Show connected sockets.
-l Show listening sockets.
-h Show a usage summary.
-pports 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.
-Ppid|process
Only show sockets of the specified pid|process. The pid|process argument is a process name
or pid.
-Uuid|user
Only show sockets of the specified uid|user. The uid|user argument is a username or uid.
-Ggid|group
Only show sockets of the specified gid|group. The gid|group argument is a groupname or gid.
-Rprotocol
Only show sockets of the specified protocol. The protocol argument is either 'raw', 'tcp',
'udp' or 'unix'
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.
LOCALADDRESS 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.
FOREIGNADDRESS (Internet sockets only) The address the foreign end of the socket is bound to (see
getpeername(2)).
