netstat:tldr:014a2
The command "netstat --continuous" is used to display a continuously updating list of network connections and listening ports on a computer.
When you run this command, it will show you information about the current network connections established by your system, including the local and remote IP addresses, the protocol used (TCP or UDP), the state of the connection (established, closed, etc.), and the process ID (PID) of the program that initiated the connection.
The continuous updating feature means that netstat will keep refreshing the list of connections, so you can see any changes happening in real-time. This can be useful for monitoring network activity, troubleshooting connection issues, or identifying suspicious or unwanted connections.
However, note that depending on the operating system and version, the "--continuous" option may vary. On some systems, you may need to use "-c" instead of "--continuous" to achieve the same result.
