268 Some options have the general meaning:
271 On SMP systems the route table is replicated. This option allows
272 the route table for a specific cpu to be accessed and exists
273 primarily for debugging purposes.

280 The following address families and protocols are recognized:

305 The program will complain if
307 is unknown or if there is no statistics routine for it.
311 option is equivalent to
314 Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core
315 instead of the default
318 Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the default,
319 which is the kernel image the system has booted from.
321 Show network addresses and ports as numbers.
324 attempts to resolve addresses and ports,
325 and display them symbolically.
327 Display additional protocol-specific information. For TCP the current
328 transmit window, unacked sequence space, and RTT is displayed.
330 In certain displays, avoid truncating addresses even if this causes
331 some fields to overflow.
334 The default display, for active sockets, shows the local
335 and remote addresses, send and receive queue sizes (in bytes), protocol,
336 and the internal state of the protocol.
337 Address formats are of the form
341 if a socket's address specifies a network but no specific host address.
342 When known, the host and network addresses are displayed symbolically
343 according to the databases
348 If a symbolic name for an address is unknown, or if
351 option is specified, the address is printed numerically, according
352 to the address family.
353 For more information regarding
361 addresses and ports appear as
364 The interface display provides a table of cumulative
365 statistics regarding packets transferred, errors, and collisions.
366 The network addresses of the interface
367 and the maximum transmission unit
371 The routing table display indicates the available routes and their status.
372 Each route consists of a destination host or network, and a gateway to use
373 in forwarding packets.
374 The flags field shows a collection of information about the route stored
376 The individual flags are discussed in more detail in the

399 .It Li X Ta Dv RTF_XRESOLVE Ta "External daemon translates proto to link address"
402 Direct routes are created for each
403 interface attached to the local host;
404 the gateway field for such entries shows the address of the outgoing interface.
405 The refcnt field gives the
406 current number of active uses of the route.
408 protocols normally hold on to a single route for the duration of
409 a connection while connectionless protocols obtain a route while sending
410 to the same destination.
411 The use field provides a count of the number of packets
412 sent using that route.
413 The interface entry indicates the network interface utilized for the route.
421 interval argument, it displays a running count of statistics related to
423 An obsolescent version of this option used a numeric parameter
424 with no option, and is currently supported for backward compatibility.
425 By default, this display summarizes information for all interfaces.
426 Information for a specific interface may be displayed with the
452 IPv6 support was added by WIDE/KAME project.
454 The notion of errors is ill-defined.
