35.Os
36.Sh NAME
37.Nm ifmcstat
38.Nd dump multicast group management statistics per interface
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.Nm
41.Op Fl i Ar interface
42.Op Fl f Ar address-family
43.Op Fl v
44.Op Fl M Ar core
45.Op Fl N Ar system
46.\"
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50command dumps multicast group information from the kernel.
51.Pp
52The following options are supported:
53.Bl -tag -width Fl
54.It Fl i Ar interface
55specifies the interface to be displayed.
56.Pp
57.It Fl f Ar address-family
58specifies the address family to be displayed;
59.Ar inet ,
60.Ar inet6
61and
62.Ar link
63are supported.
64.It Fl v
65specifies that link-layer memberships should be printed;
66they are suppressed by default.
67It may not be specified for
68.Fl f Ar link .
69.El
70.Pp
71The following options are only available if
72.Nm
73has been built with support for
74.Xr kvm 3 :
75.Bl -tag -width Fl
76.It Fl M Ar core
77extracts values associated with the name list from the specified core,
78instead of the default
79.Pa /dev/kmem .
80.It Fl N Ar system
81extracts the name list from the specified kernel instead of the
82default, which is the kernel image the system has booted from.
83.El
84.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
85When run with the
86.Fl v
87option,
88.Nm
89may print multicast MAC addresses twice if they are
90referenced by a layer 3 protocol.
91.Pp
92When run with
93.Xr kvm 3
94support,
95the names of all interfaces configured in the system will be
96printed in the first column of output, even if no multicast
97group memberships are present on those interfaces.
98The output may also be slightly different, as the kernel
99data structures are being traversed with minimal post-processing
100of the output.
101.Pp
102When built without
103.Xr kvm 3
104support, the information displayed by
105.Nm
106is more limited.
107This support is recommended for debugging purposes.
108It requires super-user privilege if used to inspect a running kernel.
109.Xr kvm 3
110will be used by default if
111.Nm
112is run with super-user privileges.
