$ sockstat -l
try on your machine
The "sockstat -l" command is used to display a list of all the currently active network connections on a Unix-like operating system.
- "sockstat" is the primary command that retrieves information about open sockets and network connections.
- The "-l" option is used to display listening sockets, which are the sockets that are actively listening for incoming network connections.
When you run the "sockstat -l" command, it will provide an output that includes details such as the local IP and port on which the socket is listening, the type of connection (TCP or UDP), and the process ID (PID) of the program associated with the socket.
This command is especially useful for troubleshooting network-related issues and identifying which programs or services are actively listening for connections on specific ports.
