SS(8)SS(8)NAMEss - another utility to investigate sockets
SYNOPSISss [options] [ FILTER ]
DESCRIPTIONss is used to dump socket statistics. It allows showing information
similar to netstat. It can display more TCP and state informations
than other tools.
OPTIONS
When no option is used ss displays a list of open non-listening TCP
sockets that have established connection.
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
-V, --version
Output version information.
-n, --numeric
Do not try to resolve service names.
-r, --resolve
Try to resolve numeric address/ports.
-a, --all
Display both listening and non-listening (for TCP this means
established connections) sockets.
-l, --listening
Display only listening sockets (these are omitted by default).
-o, --options
Show timer information.
-e, --extended
Show detailed socket information
-m, --memory
Show socket memory usage.
-p, --processes
Show process using socket.
-i, --info
Show internal TCP information.
-s, --summary
Print summary statistics. This option does not parse socket
lists obtaining summary from various sources. It is useful when
amount of sockets is so huge that parsing /proc/net/tcp is
painful.
-b, --bpf
Show socket BPF filters (only administrators are allowed to get
these information).
-4, --ipv4
Display only IP version 4 sockets (alias for -f inet).
-6, --ipv6
Display only IP version 6 sockets (alias for -f inet6).
-0, --packet
Display PACKET sockets (alias for -f link).
-t, --tcp
Display TCP sockets.
-u, --udp
Display UDP sockets.
-d, --dccp
Display DCCP sockets.
-w, --raw
Display RAW sockets.
-x, --unix
Display Unix domain sockets (alias for -f unix).
-f FAMILY, --family=FAMILY
Display sockets of type FAMILY. Currently the following fami‐
lies are supported: unix, inet, inet6, link, netlink.
-A QUERY, --query=QUERY, --socket=QUERY
List of socket tables to dump, separated by commas. The follow‐
ing identifiers are understood: all, inet, tcp, udp, raw, unix,
packet, netlink, unix_dgram, unix_stream, packet_raw,
packet_dgram.
-D FILE, --diag=FILE
Do not display anything, just dump raw information about TCP
sockets to FILE after applying filters. If FILE is - stdout is
used.
-F FILE, --filter=FILE
Read filter information from FILE. Each line of FILE is inter‐
preted like single command line option. If FILE is - stdin is
used.
FILTER := [ state TCP-STATE ] [ EXPRESSION ]
Please take a look at the official documentation (Debian package
iproute-doc) for details regarding filters.
USAGE EXAMPLESss-t -a
Display all TCP sockets.
ss-u -a
Display all UDP sockets.
ss-o state established '( dport = :ssh or sport = :ssh )'
Display all established ssh connections.
ss-x src /tmp/.X11-unix/*
Find all local processes connected to X server.
ss-o state fin-wait-1 '( sport = :http or sport = :https )' dst
193.233.7/24
List all the tcp sockets in state FIN-WAIT-1 for our apache to
network 193.233.7/24 and look at their timers.
