The command "netstat --program" is used to display the network connections and socket information along with the corresponding associated program or process.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "netstat" is a command-line network utility tool that shows active network connections, routing tables, listening ports, and other related network statistics.
- "--program" is an option or argument that is passed to the "netstat" command. It instructs the command to display the associated programs or processes along with the network connections. The program or process name is displayed in the output, providing insight into which program or service is using specific network connections.
The output of the command will include a list of active network connections, their local and remote addresses, protocol used, and the associated program or process name. This can be helpful in identifying which program or service is using a particular network connection, particularly in troubleshooting or monitoring network activity.
