NAME
lnstat - unified linux network statistics
 
SYNOPSIS
lnstat
[
options]
 
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
lnstat
command.
lnstat is a generalized and more feature-complete replacement for the old rtstat program.
In addition to routing cache statistics, it supports any kind of statistics the linux kernel
exports via a file in /proc/net/stat/.
 
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (`-').
lnstat supports the following options.
- -h, --help
 - 
Show summary of options.
 - -V, --version
 - 
Show version of program.
 - -c, --count <count>
 - 
Print <count> number of intervals.
 - -d, --dump
 - 
Dump list of available files/keys.
 - -f, --file <file>
 - 
Statistics file to use.
 - -i, --interval <intv>
 - 
Set interval to 'intv' seconds.
 - -k, --keys k,k,k,...
 - 
Display only keys specified.
 - -s, --subject [0-2]
 - 
Specify display of subject/header. '0' means no header at all, '1' prints a header only at start of the program and '2' prints a header every 20 lines.
 - -w, --width n,n,n,...
 - 
Width for each field.
