NAME

6       lnstat - unified linux network statistics
7

SYNOPSIS

9       lnstat [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This manual page documents briefly the lnstat command.
13
14       lnstat  is  a generalized and more feature-complete replacement for the
15       old rtstat program.  In addition to routing cache statistics,  it  sup‐
16       ports  any  kind  of  statistics the linux kernel exports via a file in
17       /proc/net/stat/.
18

OPTIONS

20       These programs follow the usual GNU  command  line  syntax,  with  long
21       options  starting with two dashes (`-').  lnstat supports the following
22       options.
23
24       -h, --help
25              Show summary of options.
26
27       -V, --version
28              Show version of program.
29
30       -c, --count <count>
31              Print <count> number of intervals.
32
33       -d, --dump
34              Dump list of available files/keys.
35
36       -f, --file <file>
37              Statistics file to use.
38
39       -i, --interval <intv>
40              Set interval to 'intv' seconds.
41
42       -k, --keys k,k,k,...
43              Display only keys specified.
44
45       -s, --subject [0-2]
46              Specify display of subject/header. '0' means no header  at  all,
47              '1'  prints a header only at start of the program and '2' prints
48              a header every 20 lines.
49
50       -w, --width n,n,n,...
51              Width for each field.
