309which is the kernel image the system has booted from.
310.It Fl n
311Show network addresses and ports as numbers.
312Normally
313.Nm
314attempts to resolve addresses and ports,
315and display them symbolically.
316.It Fl W
317In certain displays, avoid truncating addresses even if this causes
318some fields to overflow.
319.El
320.Pp
321The default display, for active sockets, shows the local
322and remote addresses, send and receive queue sizes (in bytes), protocol,
323and the internal state of the protocol.
324Address formats are of the form
325.Dq host.port
326or
327.Dq network.port
328if a socket's address specifies a network but no specific host address.
329When known, the host and network addresses are displayed symbolically
330according to the databases
331.Xr hosts 5
332and
333.Xr networks 5 ,
334respectively.
335If a symbolic name for an address is unknown, or if
336the
337.Fl n
338option is specified, the address is printed numerically, according
339to the address family.
340For more information regarding
341the Internet IPv4
342.Dq dot format ,
343refer to
344.Xr inet 3 .
345Unspecified,
346or
347.Dq wildcard ,
348addresses and ports appear as
349.Dq Li * .
350.Pp
351The interface display provides a table of cumulative
352statistics regarding packets transferred, errors, and collisions.
353The network addresses of the interface
354and the maximum transmission unit
355.Pq Dq mtu
356are also displayed.
357.Pp
358The routing table display indicates the available routes and their status.
359Each route consists of a destination host or network, and a gateway to use
360in forwarding packets.
361The flags field shows a collection of information about the route stored
362as binary choices.
363The individual flags are discussed in more detail in the
364.Xr route 8
365and
366.Xr route 4
367manual pages.
368The mapping between letters and flags is:
369.Bl -column ".Li W" ".Dv RTF_WASCLONED"
370.It Li 1 Ta Dv RTF_PROTO1 Ta "Protocol specific routing flag #1"
371.It Li 2 Ta Dv RTF_PROTO2 Ta "Protocol specific routing flag #2"
372.It Li 3 Ta Dv RTF_PROTO3 Ta "Protocol specific routing flag #3"
373.It Li B Ta Dv RTF_BLACKHOLE Ta "Just discard pkts (during updates)"

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