.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBipfstat\fR command is part of a suite of commands associated with the
Solaris IP Filter feature. See \fBipfilter\fR(5).
.sp
.LP
The \fBipfstat\fR command examines \fB/dev/kmem\fR using the symbols
\fB_fr_flags\fR, \fB_frstats\fR, \fB_filterin\fR, and \fB_filterout\fR. To run
and work, it needs to be able to read both \fB/dev/kmem\fR and the kernel
itself.
.sp
.LP
The default behavior of \fBipfstat\fR is to retrieve and display the statistics
which have been accumulated over time as the kernel has put packets through the
filter.
.sp
.LP
The role of \fBipfstat\fR is to display current kernel statistics gathered as a
result of applying the filters in place (if any) to packets going in and out of
the kernel. This is the default operation when no command line parameters are
present. When supplied with either \fB-i\fR or \fB-o\fR, \fBipfstat\fR will
retrieve and display the appropriate list of filter rules currently installed
and in use by the kernel.
.sp
.LP
\fBipfstat\fR uses kernel device files to obtain information. The default
permissions of these files require \fBipfstat\fR to be run as root for all
operations.
.sp
.LP
The \fBipfstat\fR command supports the \fBkstat\fR(3KSTAT) kernel facility.
Because of this support, as an alternative to \fBipfstat\fR, you can use
\fBkstat\fR(1M). For example:
.sp
.LP
# kstat \(hym ipf
.sp
.LP
Using the \fBipfstat\fR \fB-t\fR option causes \fBipfstat\fR to enter the state
top mode. In this mode the state table is displayed similarly to the way the
Unix \fBtop\fR utility displays the process table. The \fB-C\fR, \fB-D\fR,
\fB-P\fR, \fB-S\fR and \fB-T\fR command line options can be used to restrict
the state entries that will be shown and to specify the frequency of display
updates.
.sp
.LP
In state top mode, use the following keys to influence the displayed
information:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBd\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 5n
Select information to display.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBl\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 5n
Redraw the screen.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBq\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 5n
Quit the program.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBs\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 5n

.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBr\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 5n
Reverse the sorting criteria.
.RE

.sp
.LP
States can be sorted by protocol number, by number of IP packets, by number of
bytes, and by time-to-live of the state entry. The default is to sort by the
number of bytes. States are sorted in descending order, but you can use the
\fBr\fR key to sort them in ascending order.
.sp
.LP
It is not possible to interactively change the source, destination, and
protocol filters or the refresh frequency. This must be done from the command
line.
.sp
.LP
The screen must have at least 80 columns for correct display. However,
\fBipfstat\fR does not check the screen width.
.sp
.LP
Only the first \fIX\fR-5 entries that match the sort and filter criteria are
displayed (where \fIX\fR is the number of rows on the display). There is no way
to see additional entries.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
.LP
The following options are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-6\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Display filter lists and states for IPv6, if available. This option might
change in the future.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-a\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Display the accounting filter list and show bytes counted against each rule.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-A\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Display packet authentication statistics.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-C\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Valid only in combination with \fB-t\fR. Display "closed" states as well in the
top. Normally, a TCP connection is not displayed when it reaches the
\fBCLOSE_WAIT\fR protocol state. With this option enabled, all state entries
are displayed.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-d\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Produce debugging output when displaying data.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-D\fR \fIaddrport\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Valid only in combination with \fB-t\fR. Limit the state top display to show
only state entries whose destination IP address and port match the
\fIaddrport\fR argument. The \fIaddrport\fR specification is of the form
\fIipaddress\fR[,\fIport\fR]. The \fIipaddress\fR and \fIport\fR should be
either numerical or the string \fBany\fR (specifying any IP address and any
port, in that order). If the \fB-D\fR option is not specified, it defaults to
\fB-D\fR \fBany,any\fR.
