35.Nm ifmcstat
36.Nd dump multicast group management statistics per interface

45.\"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49command dumps multicast group information from the kernel.
50.Pp
51The following options are supported:
52.Bl -tag -width Fl
53.It Fl i Ar interface
54specifies the interface to be displayed.
55.It Fl f Ar address-family
56specifies the address family to be displayed;
57.Ar inet ,
58.Ar inet6
59and
60.Ar link
61are supported.
62.It Fl v
63specifies that link-layer memberships should be printed;
64they are suppressed by default.
65It may not be specified for
66.Fl f Ar link .
67Source lists for each group will also be printed.
68.Pp
69If specified twice, and
70.Xr kvm 3
71is in use, the control plane timers for each interface
72and the source list counters for each group
73will also be printed.
74.El
75.Pp
76The following options are only available if
77.Nm
78has been built with support for
79.Xr kvm 3 :
80.Bl -tag -width Fl
81.It Fl K
82attempts to use
83.Xr kvm 3
84to retrieve the multicast group information.
85.It Fl M Ar core
86extracts values associated with the name list from the specified core,
87instead of the default
88.Pa /dev/kmem .
89.It Fl N Ar system
90extracts the name list from the specified kernel instead of the
91default, which is the kernel image the system has booted from.
92.El
93.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
94.Nm
95will always print the embedded scope IDs of IPv6 multicast group
96memberships.
97This is because memberships are always scoped to an interface.
98.Pp
99When run with the
100.Fl v
101option,
102.Nm
103may print multicast MAC addresses twice if they are
104referenced by a layer 3 protocol.
105.Pp
106When run with
107.Xr kvm 3
108support,
109the names of all interfaces configured in the system will be
110printed in the first column of output, even if no multicast
111group memberships are present on those interfaces.
112The output may also be slightly different, as the kernel
113data structures are being traversed with minimal post-processing
114of the output.
115.Pp
116When built without
117.Xr kvm 3
118support, the information displayed by
119.Nm
120is more limited.
121This support is recommended for debugging purposes.
122It requires super-user privilege if used to inspect a running kernel.
