try on your machine
The command "netstat --tcp" is used to display TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) network statistics on a system.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "netstat" is a network utility tool that shows network connections, routing tables, interface statistics, and other network-related information.
- "--tcp" is an option or flag that filters the output to show only TCP statistics. It instructs netstat to display only TCP connections, ports, and related information.
When you run the "netstat --tcp" command, you will see a list of active TCP connections on your system, along with details like local and remote IP addresses, port numbers, connection state, and process ID associated with each connection.
