ss: Filter TCP sockets by states, only/exclude.

$ ss ${state-exclude} ${bucket-big-connected-synchronized----}

try on your machine

This command seems to be using the "ss" command with two variables: ${state-exclude} and ${bucket-big-connected-synchronized----}.

The "ss" command is typically used for displaying socket statistics. It shows information about network connections, such as the state of the socket (established, closed, etc.), the local and remote IP addresses, and the associated process ID.

The ${state-exclude} part is likely a variable that holds a value specifying which socket states should be excluded from the output. It could be a specific state like "ESTABLISHED," "CLOSE_WAIT," etc., or a list of states separated by commas.

The ${bucket-big-connected-synchronized----} variable is more difficult to interpret without more context. It could be a variable that holds some information related to the socket, but it's not clear what it represents without further information.

In summary, the command seems to utilize the "ss" command to display socket statistics, with the inclusion of a variable (${state-exclude}) to exclude specific socket states from the output, and another variable (${bucket-big-connected-synchronized----}) that likely represents additional socket-related information.
