.TH LNSTAT 8
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
lnstat \- unified linux network statistics
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B lnstat
|
|
.RI [ options ]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This manual page documents briefly the
|
|
.B lnstat
|
|
command.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBlnstat\fP is a generalized and more feature-complete replacement for the old
|
|
rtstat program. It is commonly used to periodically print a selection of
|
|
statistical values exported by the kernel.
|
|
In addition to routing cache statistics, it supports any kind of statistics the
|
|
linux kernel exports via a file in /proc/net/stat/.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Each file in /proc/net/stat/ contains a header line listing the column names.
|
|
These names are used by \fBlnstat\fP as keys for selecting which statistics to
|
|
print. For every CPU present in the system, a line follows which lists the
|
|
actual values for each column of the file. \fBlnstat\fP sums these values up
|
|
(which in fact are counters) before printing them. After each interval, only
|
|
the difference to the last value is printed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Files and columns may be selected by using the \fB-f\fP and \fB-k\fP
|
|
parameters. By default, all columns of all files are printed.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
lnstat supports the following options.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-h, \-\-help

|
|
Dump list of available files/keys.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-f, \-\-file <file>
|
|
Statistics file to use, may be specified multiple times. By default all files in /proc/net/stat are scanned.

|
|
is given, the search for the given key is limited to that file. Otherwise the first file containing
|
|
the searched key is being used.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-s, \-\-subject [0-2]
|
|
Specify display of subject/header. '0' means no header at all, '1' prints a header only at start of the program and '2' prints a header every 20 lines.
