39: .Nm fstat
1.36 mickey 40: .Op Fl fnosv
1.1 deraadt 41: .Op Fl M Ar core

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,
1.42 millert 50: is the working directory, root directory, active executable text, or kernel
1.1 deraadt 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.
1.39 deraadt 86: This information is only visible to the user or superuser.
1.19 aaron 87: .It Fl p Ar pid
1.1 deraadt 88: Report all files open by the specified process.
1.36 mickey 89: .It Fl s
90: Report per file io statistics in two additional columns
91: .Sq XFERS
92: and
93: .Sq KBYTES .
1.39 deraadt 94: This information is only visible to the user or superuser.
1.19 aaron 95: .It Fl u Ar user
1.1 deraadt 96: Report all files open by the specified user.
97: .It Fl v
1.16 aaron 98: Verbose mode.
99: Print error messages upon failures to locate particular
100: system data structures rather than silently ignoring them.
101: Most of these data structures are dynamically created or deleted and it is
1.1 deraadt 102: possible for them to disappear while
1.19 aaron 103: .Nm
1.16 aaron 104: is running.
1.17 aaron 105: This is normal and unavoidable since the rest of the system is running while
1.19 aaron 106: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 107: itself is running.
1.43 sobrado 108: .It Ar
1.1 deraadt 109: Restrict reports to the specified files.
110: .El
111: .Pp
112: The following fields are printed:
113: .Bl -tag -width MOUNT
114: .It Li USER
1.10 aaron 115: The username of the owner of the process (effective UID).
1.1 deraadt 116: .It Li CMD
117: The command name of the process.
118: .It Li PID
1.10 aaron 119: The process ID.
1.1 deraadt 120: .It Li FD
121: The file number in the per-process open file table or one of the following
122: special names:
1.29 otto 123: .Bd -literal -offset indent
1.42 millert 124: text \- executable text inode
1.51 jmc 125: wd \- current working directory
1.26 jmc 126: root \- root inode
127: tr \- kernel trace file
1.1 deraadt 128: .Ed
129: .Pp
1.16 aaron 130: If the file number is followed by an asterisk
131: .Pq Ql * ,
1.33 pedro 132: the file is not an inode, but rather a socket, or there is an error.
1.1 deraadt 133: In this case the remainder of the line doesn't
134: correspond to the remaining headers -- the format of the line
135: is described later under
1.27 jmc 136: .Sx SOCKETS .
1.1 deraadt 137: .It Li MOUNT
138: If the
139: .Fl n
140: flag wasn't specified, this header is present and is the
1.16 aaron 141: pathname that the file system the file resides in is mounted on.
1.1 deraadt 142: .It Li DEV
143: If the
144: .Fl n
145: flag is specified, this header is present and is the
146: major/minor number of the device that this file resides in.
147: .It Li INUM
148: The inode number of the file.
1.53 ! guenther 149: It will be followed by an asterisk
! 150: .Pq Ql *
! 151: if the inode is unlinked from disk.
1.1 deraadt 152: .It Li MODE
1.17 aaron 153: The mode of the file.
154: If the
1.1 deraadt 155: .Fl n
156: flag isn't specified, the mode is printed
157: using a symbolic format (see
158: .Xr strmode 3 ) ;
159: otherwise, the mode is printed
160: as an octal number.
1.38 sobrado 161: .It Li R/W
162: This column describes the access mode that the file allows.
163: The letter
164: .Sq r
165: indicates open for reading;
166: the letter
167: .Sq w
168: indicates open for writing.
169: This field is useful when trying to find the processes that are
170: preventing a file system from being downgraded to read-only.
1.46 jmc 171: .It Li SZ | DV
1.10 aaron 172: If the file is not a character or block special file, prints the size of
1.16 aaron 173: the file in bytes.
174: Otherwise, if the
1.1 deraadt 175: .Fl n
176: flag is not specified, prints
177: the name of the special file as located in
178: .Pa /dev .
1.16 aaron 179: If that cannot be located, or the
1.1 deraadt 180: .Fl n
181: flag is specified, prints the major/minor device
182: number that the special device refers to.
183: .It Li NAME
184: If filename arguments are specified and the
185: .Fl f
186: flag is not, then
187: this field is present and is the name associated with the given file.
188: Normally the name cannot be determined since there is no mapping
189: from an open file back to the directory entry that was used to open
1.16 aaron 190: that file.
191: Also, since different directory entries may reference
1.1 deraadt 192: the same file (via
1.24 jmc 193: .Xr ln 1 ) ,
1.1 deraadt 194: the name printed may not be the actual
195: name that the process originally used to open that file.
1.36 mickey 196: .It Li XFERS
1.47 jmc 197: Displays number of total data transfers performed on the file.
1.36 mickey 198: .It Li KBYTES
199: Displays total number of Kbytes written and read to the file.
1.1 deraadt 200: .El
201: .Sh SOCKETS
1.13 alex 202: The formatting of open sockets depends on the protocol domain.
1.40 jmc 203: In all cases the first field is the domain name
204: and the second field is the socket type (stream, dgram, etc).
1.1 deraadt 205: The remaining fields are protocol dependent.
1.10 aaron 206: For TCP, it is the address of the tcpcb, and for UDP, the inpcb (socket pcb).
1.44 sobrado 207: For
1.45 sobrado 208: .Ux Ns -domain
209: sockets, it's the address of the socket pcb and the address
1.1 deraadt 210: of the connected pcb (if connected).
211: Otherwise the protocol number and address of the socket itself are printed.
1.11 aaron 212: The attempt is to make enough information available to
1.1 deraadt 213: permit further analysis without duplicating
214: .Xr netstat 1 .
215: .Pp
216: For example, the addresses mentioned above are the addresses which the
1.16 aaron 217: .Ic netstat -A
1.44 sobrado 218: command would print for TCP, UDP, and
1.45 sobrado 219: .Ux Ns -domain.
1.44 sobrado 220: A unidirectional
1.45 sobrado 221: .Ux Ns -domain
222: socket indicates the direction of flow with
1.16 aaron 223: an arrow
224: .Pf ( Dq <-
225: or
226: .Dq -> ) ,
227: and a full duplex socket shows a double arrow
1.26 jmc 228: .Pq Dq <-> .
1.4 deraadt 229: .Pp
1.19 aaron 230: For
231: .Dv AF_INET
1.48 guenther 232: and
233: .Dv AF_INET6
1.19 aaron 234: sockets,
235: .Nm
1.4 deraadt 236: also attempts to print the internet address and port for the
237: local end of a connection.
238: If the socket is connected, it also prints the remote internet address
239: and port.
1.16 aaron 240: A
241: .Ql *
242: is used to indicate an
243: .Dv INADDR_ANY
244: binding.
245: In this case, the
246: use of the arrow
247: .Pf ( Dq <--
248: or
249: .Dq --> )
250: indicates the direction the socket connection was created.
1.48 guenther 251: .Pp
1.51 jmc 252: If the socket has been spliced to or from another socket (see
1.48 guenther 253: .Xr setsockopt 2
254: and
1.49 jmc 255: .Dv SO_SPLICE )
256: then
1.48 guenther 257: .Nm
258: prints a thick arrow
259: .Pf ( Dq <==> ,
260: .Dq <== ,
261: or
262: .Dq ==> ) ,
263: followed by the address and endpoint information of the other socket
264: in the splice,
265: if available.
1.8 art 266: .Sh PIPES
267: Every pipe is printed as an address which is the same for both sides of
1.16 aaron 268: the pipe and a state that is built of the letters
269: .Dq RWE .
1.26 jmc 270: W \- The pipe blocks waiting for the reader to read data.
271: R \- The pipe blocks waiting for the writer to write data.
272: E \- The pipe is in EOF state.
1.21 deraadt 273: .Sh KQUEUE
1.22 deraadt 274: Each
275: .Xr kqueue 2
276: is printed with some information as to queue length.
1.23 avsm 277: Since these things are normally serviced quickly, it is likely that
1.21 deraadt 278: nothing of real importance can be discerned.

300: .Xr netstat 1 .
1.19 aaron 301: .Sh BUGS
302: Since
303: .Nm
304: takes a snapshot of the system, it is only correct for a very short period
305: of time.
306: .Pp
307: Moreover, because DNS resolution and YP lookups cause many file
308: descriptor changes,
309: .Nm
310: does not attempt to translate the internet address and port numbers into
311: symbolic names.
