1.15 pjanzen 37: .Nd display status of open files
1.1 deraadt 38: .Sh SYNOPSIS
39: .Nm fstat
1.18 hugh 40: .Op Fl fnov
1.1 deraadt 41: .Op Fl M Ar core
42: .Op Fl N Ar system
43: .Op Fl p Ar pid

1.16 aaron 45: .Op Ar file ...
1.1 deraadt 46: .Sh DESCRIPTION
1.19 aaron 47: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 48: identifies open files.
49: A file is considered open by a process if it was explicitly opened,
50: is the working directory, root directory, active pure text, or kernel
51: trace file for that process.
52: If no options are specified,
1.19 aaron 53: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 54: reports on all open files in the system.
55: .Pp
1.14 aaron 56: The options are as follows:
1.1 deraadt 57: .Bl -tag -width Ds
58: .It Fl f
1.16 aaron 59: Restrict examination to files open in the same file systems as
60: the named file arguments, or to the file system containing the
1.1 deraadt 61: current directory if there are no additional filename arguments.
1.16 aaron 62: For example, to find all files open in the file system where the
1.1 deraadt 63: directory
64: .Pa /usr/src
65: resides, type
1.28 deraadt 66: .Pp
1.31 jmc 67: .Dl # fstat -f /usr/src
1.12 deraadt 68: .It Fl M Ar core
1.1 deraadt 69: Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core
1.20 miod 70: instead of the running kernel.
1.12 deraadt 71: .It Fl N Ar system
1.20 miod 72: Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the running kernel.
1.1 deraadt 73: .It Fl n
1.16 aaron 74: Numerical format.
75: Print the device number (maj,min) of the file system
1.17 aaron 76: the file resides in rather than the mount point name.
77: For special files, print the
1.1 deraadt 78: device number that the special device refers to rather than the filename
79: in
1.16 aaron 80: .Pa /dev .
81: Also, print the mode of the file in octal instead of symbolic form.
1.18 hugh 82: .It Fl o
83: Output file offset.
84: Follow the size field with the descriptor's offset.
85: Useful for checking progress as a process works through a large file.
1.19 aaron 86: .It Fl p Ar pid
1.1 deraadt 87: Report all files open by the specified process.
1.19 aaron 88: .It Fl u Ar user
1.1 deraadt 89: Report all files open by the specified user.
90: .It Fl v
1.16 aaron 91: Verbose mode.
92: Print error messages upon failures to locate particular
93: system data structures rather than silently ignoring them.
94: Most of these data structures are dynamically created or deleted and it is
1.1 deraadt 95: possible for them to disappear while
1.19 aaron 96: .Nm
1.16 aaron 97: is running.
1.17 aaron 98: This is normal and unavoidable since the rest of the system is running while
1.19 aaron 99: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 100: itself is running.
1.16 aaron 101: .It Ar file ...
1.1 deraadt 102: Restrict reports to the specified files.
103: .El
104: .Pp
105: The following fields are printed:
106: .Bl -tag -width MOUNT
107: .It Li USER
1.10 aaron 108: The username of the owner of the process (effective UID).
1.1 deraadt 109: .It Li CMD
110: The command name of the process.
111: .It Li PID
1.10 aaron 112: The process ID.
1.1 deraadt 113: .It Li FD
114: The file number in the per-process open file table or one of the following
115: special names:
1.29 otto 116: .Bd -literal -offset indent
1.26 jmc 117: text \- pure text inode
118: wd \- current working directory
119: root \- root inode
120: tr \- kernel trace file
1.1 deraadt 121: .Ed
122: .Pp
1.16 aaron 123: If the file number is followed by an asterisk
124: .Pq Ql * ,
125: the file is not an inode, but rather a socket,
1.1 deraadt 126: .Tn FIFO ,
127: or there is an error.
128: In this case the remainder of the line doesn't
129: correspond to the remaining headers -- the format of the line
130: is described later under
1.27 jmc 131: .Sx SOCKETS .
1.1 deraadt 132: .It Li MOUNT
133: If the
134: .Fl n
135: flag wasn't specified, this header is present and is the
1.16 aaron 136: pathname that the file system the file resides in is mounted on.
1.1 deraadt 137: .It Li DEV
138: If the
139: .Fl n
140: flag is specified, this header is present and is the
141: major/minor number of the device that this file resides in.
142: .It Li INUM
143: The inode number of the file.
144: .It Li MODE
1.17 aaron 145: The mode of the file.
146: If the
1.1 deraadt 147: .Fl n
148: flag isn't specified, the mode is printed
149: using a symbolic format (see
150: .Xr strmode 3 ) ;
151: otherwise, the mode is printed
152: as an octal number.
153: .It Li SZ\&|DV
1.10 aaron 154: If the file is not a character or block special file, prints the size of
1.16 aaron 155: the file in bytes.
156: Otherwise, if the
1.1 deraadt 157: .Fl n
158: flag is not specified, prints
159: the name of the special file as located in
160: .Pa /dev .
1.16 aaron 161: If that cannot be located, or the
1.1 deraadt 162: .Fl n
163: flag is specified, prints the major/minor device
164: number that the special device refers to.
165: .It Li R/W
166: This column describes the access mode that the file allows.
1.16 aaron 167: The letter
168: .Sq r
169: indicates open for reading;
170: the letter
171: .Sq w
172: indicates open for writing.
1.1 deraadt 173: This field is useful when trying to find the processes that are
1.16 aaron 174: preventing a file system from being downgraded to read-only.
1.1 deraadt 175: .It Li NAME
176: If filename arguments are specified and the
177: .Fl f
178: flag is not, then
179: this field is present and is the name associated with the given file.
180: Normally the name cannot be determined since there is no mapping
181: from an open file back to the directory entry that was used to open
1.16 aaron 182: that file.
183: Also, since different directory entries may reference
1.1 deraadt 184: the same file (via
1.24 jmc 185: .Xr ln 1 ) ,
1.1 deraadt 186: the name printed may not be the actual
187: name that the process originally used to open that file.
188: .El
189: .Sh SOCKETS
1.13 alex 190: The formatting of open sockets depends on the protocol domain.
1.1 deraadt 191: In all cases the first field is the domain name, the second field
192: is the socket type (stream, dgram, etc), and the third is the socket
193: flags field (in hex).
194: The remaining fields are protocol dependent.
1.10 aaron 195: For TCP, it is the address of the tcpcb, and for UDP, the inpcb (socket pcb).
196: For Unix domain sockets, it's the address of the socket pcb and the address
1.1 deraadt 197: of the connected pcb (if connected).
198: Otherwise the protocol number and address of the socket itself are printed.
1.11 aaron 199: The attempt is to make enough information available to
1.1 deraadt 200: permit further analysis without duplicating
201: .Xr netstat 1 .
202: .Pp
203: For example, the addresses mentioned above are the addresses which the
1.16 aaron 204: .Ic netstat -A
1.10 aaron 205: command would print for TCP, UDP, and Unix domain.
1.1 deraadt 206: Note that since pipes are implemented using sockets, a pipe appears as a
1.10 aaron 207: connected Unix domain stream socket.
208: A unidirectional Unix domain socket indicates the direction of flow with
1.16 aaron 209: an arrow
210: .Pf ( Dq <-
211: or
212: .Dq -> ) ,
213: and a full duplex socket shows a double arrow
1.26 jmc 214: .Pq Dq <-> .
1.4 deraadt 215: .Pp
1.19 aaron 216: For
217: .Dv AF_INET
218: sockets,
219: .Nm
1.4 deraadt 220: also attempts to print the internet address and port for the
221: local end of a connection.
222: If the socket is connected, it also prints the remote internet address
223: and port.
1.16 aaron 224: A
225: .Ql *
226: is used to indicate an
227: .Dv INADDR_ANY
228: binding.
229: In this case, the
230: use of the arrow
231: .Pf ( Dq <--
232: or
233: .Dq --> )
234: indicates the direction the socket connection was created.
1.8 art 235: .Sh PIPES
236: Every pipe is printed as an address which is the same for both sides of
1.16 aaron 237: the pipe and a state that is built of the letters
238: .Dq RWE .
1.26 jmc 239: W \- The pipe blocks waiting for the reader to read data.
240: R \- The pipe blocks waiting for the writer to write data.
241: E \- The pipe is in EOF state.
1.21 deraadt 242: .Sh CRYPTO
1.22 deraadt 243: Each
244: .Xr crypto 4
245: device is printed with only the kernel address of the device private data.
1.21 deraadt 246: .Sh KQUEUE
1.22 deraadt 247: Each
248: .Xr kqueue 2
249: is printed with some information as to queue length.
1.23 avsm 250: Since these things are normally serviced quickly, it is likely that
1.21 deraadt 251: nothing of real importance can be discerned.
252: .Sh SYSTRACE
253: Each systrace device is printed with only the kernel address of the
254: device private data.

1.29 otto 270: .Sh CAVEATS
271: Sockets in use by the kernel, such as those opened by

275: even though they appear in
276: .Xr netstat 1 .
1.19 aaron 277: .Sh BUGS
278: Since
279: .Nm
280: takes a snapshot of the system, it is only correct for a very short period
281: of time.
282: .Pp
283: Moreover, because DNS resolution and YP lookups cause many file
284: descriptor changes,
285: .Nm
286: does not attempt to translate the internet address and port numbers into
287: symbolic names.
