The command "ports -d" is used to display information about all the open ports on a system and their associated programs or services. Here's what each part of the command means:
- "ports" is the name of the command or program being executed.
- "-d" is an option or flag used to specify that the command should display detailed information about the ports.
When you execute the "ports -d" command, it will likely provide a list of all open ports on your system. This information may include the port number, the protocol used (such as TCP or UDP), and the program or service that is using that particular port.
The "ports" command is commonly used in network and system administration to troubleshoot network connectivity issues, detect unauthorized access attempts, or simply get an overview of the open ports on a system.
