312which is the kernel image the system has booted from.
313.It Fl n
314Show network addresses and ports as numbers.
315Normally
316.Nm
317attempts to resolve addresses and ports,
318and display them symbolically.
319.It Fl W
320In certain displays, avoid truncating addresses even if this causes
321some fields to overflow.
322.El
323.Pp
324The default display, for active sockets, shows the local
325and remote addresses, send and receive queue sizes (in bytes), protocol,
326and the internal state of the protocol.
327Address formats are of the form
328.Dq host.port
329or
330.Dq network.port
331if a socket's address specifies a network but no specific host address.
332When known, the host and network addresses are displayed symbolically
333according to the databases
334.Xr hosts 5
335and
336.Xr networks 5 ,
337respectively.
338If a symbolic name for an address is unknown, or if
339the
340.Fl n
341option is specified, the address is printed numerically, according
342to the address family.
343For more information regarding
344the Internet IPv4
345.Dq dot format ,
346refer to
347.Xr inet 3 .
348Unspecified,
349or
350.Dq wildcard ,
351addresses and ports appear as
352.Dq Li * .
353.Pp
354The interface display provides a table of cumulative
355statistics regarding packets transferred, errors, and collisions.
356The network addresses of the interface
357and the maximum transmission unit
358.Pq Dq mtu
359are also displayed.
360.Pp
361The routing table display indicates the available routes and their status.
362Each route consists of a destination host or network, and a gateway to use
363in forwarding packets.
364The flags field shows a collection of information about the route stored
365as binary choices.
366The individual flags are discussed in more detail in the
367.Xr route 8
368and
369.Xr route 4
370manual pages.
371The mapping between letters and flags is:
372.Bl -column ".Li W" ".Dv RTF_WASCLONED"
373.It Li 1 Ta Dv RTF_PROTO1 Ta "Protocol specific routing flag #1"
374.It Li 2 Ta Dv RTF_PROTO2 Ta "Protocol specific routing flag #2"
375.It Li 3 Ta Dv RTF_PROTO3 Ta "Protocol specific routing flag #3"
376.It Li B Ta Dv RTF_BLACKHOLE Ta "Just discard pkts (during updates)"

381.It Li G Ta Dv RTF_GATEWAY Ta "Destination requires forwarding by intermediary"
382.It Li H Ta Dv RTF_HOST Ta "Host entry (net otherwise)"
383.It Li L Ta Dv RTF_LLINFO Ta "Valid protocol to link address translation"
384.It Li M Ta Dv RTF_MODIFIED Ta "Modified dynamically (by redirect)"

386.It Li S Ta Dv RTF_STATIC Ta "Manually added"
387.It Li U Ta Dv RTF_UP Ta "Route usable"
388.It Li W Ta Dv RTF_WASCLONED Ta "Route was generated as a result of cloning"
389.It Li X Ta Dv RTF_XRESOLVE Ta "External daemon translates proto to link address"
390.El
391.Pp
392Direct routes are created for each
393interface attached to the local host;
394the gateway field for such entries shows the address of the outgoing interface.
395The refcnt field gives the
396current number of active uses of the route.
397Connection oriented
398protocols normally hold on to a single route for the duration of
399a connection while connectionless protocols obtain a route while sending
400to the same destination.
401The use field provides a count of the number of packets
402sent using that route.
403The interface entry indicates the network interface utilized for the route.
404.Pp
405When
406.Nm
407is invoked with the
408.Fl w
409option and a
410.Ar wait
411interval argument, it displays a running count of statistics related to
412network interfaces.
413An obsolescent version of this option used a numeric parameter
414with no option, and is currently supported for backward compatibility.
415By default, this display summarizes information for all interfaces.
416Information for a specific interface may be displayed with the
417.Fl I
418option.
