.SH NAME
ss \- another utility to investigate sockets
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ss
.RI [ options ] " [ FILTER ]"
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B ss
command.
.PP
\fBss\fP is another utility to investigate sockets. Functionally it is
NOT better than netstat combined with some perl/awk scripts and though it is
surely faster it is not enough to make it much better. :-) So, stop reading
this now and do not waste your time. Well, certainly, it proposes some
functionality, which current netstat is still not able to do, but surely will
soon.
.SH OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (`-').
A summary of options is included below.
.TP
.B \-h, \-\-help
Show summary of options.
.TP
.B \-V, \-\-version
Output version information.
.TP
.B \-n, \-\-numeric
Do now try to resolve service names.
.TP
.B \-r, \-\-resolve
Try to resolve numeric address/ports.
.TP
.B \-a, \-\-all
Display all sockets.
.TP
.B \-l, \-\-listening
Display listening sockets.
.TP
.B \-o, \-\-options
Show timer information.
.TP
.B \-e, \-\-extended
Show detailed socket information
.TP
.B \-m, \-\-memory
Show socket memory usage.
.TP
.B \-p, \-\-processes
Show process using socket.
.TP
.B \-i, \-\-info
Show internal TCP information.
.TP
.B \-s, \-\-summary
Print summary statistics. This option does not parse socket lists obtaining
summary from various sources. It is useful when amount of sockets is so huge
that parsing /proc/net/tcp is painful.
.TP
.B \-4, \-\-ipv4
Display only IP version 4 sockets (alias for -f inet).
.TP
.B \-6, \-\-ipv6
Display only IP version 6 sockets (alias for -f inet6).
.TP
.B \-0, \-\-packet
Display PACKET sockets.
.TP
.B \-t, \-\-tcp
Display only TCP sockets.
.TP
.B \-u, \-\-udp
Display only UDP sockets.
.TP
.B \-d, \-\-dccp
Display only DCCP sockets.
.TP
.B \-w, \-\-raw
Display only RAW sockets.
.TP
.B \-x, \-\-unix
Display only Unix domain sockets.
.TP
.B \-f FAMILY, \-\-family=FAMILY
Display sockets of type FAMILY.
Currently the following families are supported: unix, inet, inet6, link, netlink.
.TP
.B \-A QUERY, \-\-query=QUERY
List of socket tables to dump, separated by commas. The following identifiers
are understood: all, inet, tcp, udp, raw, unix, packet, netlink, unix_dgram,
unix_stream, packet_raw, packet_dgram.
.TP
.B \-D FILE
Do not display anything, just dump raw information about TCP sockets to FILE after applying filters. If FILE is - stdout is used.
.TP
.B \-F FILE, \-\-filter=FILE
Read filter information from FILE.
Each line of FILE is interpreted like single command line option. If FILE is - stdin is used.
.TP
.B FILTER := [ state TCP-STATE ] [ EXPRESSION ]
Please take a look at the official documentation (Debian package iproute-doc) for details regarding filters.
.SH USAGE EXAMPLES
.TP
.B ss -t -a
Display all TCP sockets.
.TP
.B ss -u -a
Display all UDP sockets.
.TP
.B ss -o state established '( dport = :ssh or sport = :ssh )'
Display all established ssh connections.
.TP
.B ss -x src \"/tmp/.X11-unix/*\"
Find all local processes connected to X server.
.TP
.B ss -o state fin-wait-1 '( sport = :http or sport = :https )' dst 193.233.7/24
List all the tcp sockets in state FIN-WAIT-1 for our apache to network 193.233.7/24 and look at their timers.

Amusing but hardly in keeping with the style and tone of other man pages.

Much better than nothing - just my 2 cent.

In this case, I very much disagree.
If someone went out of their way to write a manpage, only to
end up belittling the tool and call it useless, this makes
their manpage contribution pretty worthless too.

I'm not sure if this was his intention, I (as a non-native speaker) don't
take it as hard as you and I know that the author was non-native too. So I
will ask him for removal of the questionable section. I think without this
section its a usefull manpage.

All I meant was that I was going to rewrite the intro part to try
and make it less snooty. Ss is a useful tool, has zero documentation
and needs to be more widely used (and extended).
The page will be a start, its all a matter of editing.

I find the tone insulting, frankly.

The lines above are a 1:1 copy of the text by Alexey Kuznetosv I found in
the iproute-doc package at /usr/share/doc/iproute-doc/ss.html
[see http://www.math.ias.edu/doc/iproute-2.6.9/ss.ps].
Of course feel free to drop/replace the lines.
