35.Sh NAME
36.Nm fstat
37.Nd display status of open files
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Nm
40.Op Fl Afnv
41.Op Fl M Ar core
42.Op Fl N Ar system
43.Op Fl p Ar pid
44.Op Fl u Ar user
45.Op Ar
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47.Nm
48identifies open files.
49A file is considered open by a process if it was explicitly opened,
50is the working directory, root directory, active pure text, or kernel
51trace file for that process.
52If no options are specified,
53.Nm
54reports on all open files in the system.
55.Pp
56Options:
57.Bl -tag -width Ds
58.It Fl A
59Add an output column with the address of the kernel object (vnode or file),
60that can be matched with
61.Xr pstat 8
62output.
63.It Fl f
64Restrict examination to files open in the same file systems as
65the named file arguments, or to the file system containing the
66current directory if there are no additional filename arguments.
67For example, to find all files open in the file system where the
68directory
69.Pa /var/log
70resides, type
71.Dq Li fstat -f /var/log .
72Please see the
73.Sx BUGS
74section for issues with this option.
75.It Fl M
76Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core
77instead of the default
78.Pa /dev/kmem .
79.It Fl N
80Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the default
81.Pa /netbsd .
82.It Fl n
83Numerical format.
84Print the device number (maj,min) of the file system
85the file resides in rather than the mount point name; for special
86files, print the
87device number that the special device refers to rather than the filename
88in
89.Pa /dev ;
90and print the mode of the file in octal instead of symbolic form.
91.It Fl p
92Report all files open by the specified process.
93.It Fl u
94Report all files open by the specified user.
95.It Fl v
96Verbose mode.
97Print error messages upon failures to locate particular
98system data structures rather than silently ignoring them.
99Most of
100these data structures are dynamically created or deleted and it is
101possible for them to disappear while
102.Nm
103is running.
104This is normal and unavoidable since the rest of the system is running while
105.Nm
106itself is running.
107.It Ar
108Restrict reports to the specified files.
109.El
110.Pp
111The following fields are printed:
112.Bl -tag -width MOUNT
113.It Li USER
114The username of the owner of the process (effective UID).
115.It Li CMD
116The command name of the process.
117.It Li PID
118The process ID.
119.It Li FD
120The file number in the per-process open file table or one of the following
121special names:
122.Pp
123.Bl -tag -width MOUNT -offset indent -compact
124.It Li text
125pure text inode
126.It Li wd
127current working directory
128.It Li root
129root inode
130.It Li tr
131kernel trace file
132.El
133.Pp
134If the file number is followed by an asterisk
135.Pq Dq * ,
136the file is not an inode, but rather a socket,
137.Tn FIFO ,
138or there is an error.
139In this case the remainder of the line doesn't
140correspond to the remaining headers -- the format of the line
141is described later under
142.Sx SOCKETS .
143.It Li MOUNT
144If the
145.Fl n
146flag wasn't specified, this header is present and is the
147pathname that the file system the file resides in is mounted on.
148.It Li DEV
149If the
150.Fl n
151flag is specified, this header is present and is the
152major/minor number of the device that this file resides in.
153.It Li INUM
154The inode number of the file.
155.It Li MODE
156The mode of the file.
157If the
158.Fl n
159flag isn't specified, the mode is printed
160using a symbolic format (see
161.Xr strmode 3 ) ;
162otherwise, the mode is printed
163as an octal number.
164.It Li SZ\&|DV
165If the file is not a character or block special file, prints the size of
166the file in bytes.
167Otherwise, if the
168.Fl n
169flag is not specified, prints
170the name of the special file as located in
171.Pa /dev .
172If that cannot be
173located, or the
174.Fl n
175flag is specified, prints the major/minor device
176number that the special device refers to.
177.It Li R/W
178This column describes the access mode that the file allows.
179The letter
180.Dq r
181indicates open for reading;
182the letter
183.Dq w
184indicates open for writing.
185This field is useful when trying to find the processes that are
186preventing a file system from being downgraded to read-only.
187.It Li NAME
188If filename arguments are specified and the
189.Fl f
190flag is not, then
191this field is present and is the name associated with the given file.
192Normally the name cannot be determined since there is no mapping
193from an open file back to the directory entry that was used to open
194that file.
195Also, since different directory entries may reference
196the same file (via
197.Xr ln 1 ) ,
198the name printed may not be the actual
199name that the process originally used to open that file.
200.El
201.Sh SOCKETS
202The formatting of open sockets depends on the protocol domain.
203In all cases the first field is the domain name and
204the second field is the socket type (stream, dgram, etc.).
205The remaining fields are protocol dependent.
206For TCP, it is the address of the tcpcb, and for UDP, the inpcb (socket pcb).
207For
208.Ux
209domain sockets, its the address of the socket pcb and the name of the
210file if available.
211Otherwise the address of the connected pcb is printed (if connected).
212For other domains, the protocol number and address of the socket itself
213are printed.
214The attempt is to make enough information available to
215permit further analysis without duplicating
216.Xr netstat 1 .
217.Pp
218For example, the addresses mentioned above are the addresses which the
219.Dq Li netstat -A
220command would print for TCP, UDP, and
221.Ux
222domain.
223For kernels compiled with
224.Dv PIPE_SOCKETPAIR
225pipes appear as connected
226.Ux
227domain stream sockets.
228A unidirectional
229.Ux
230domain socket indicates the direction of flow with an arrow
231.Po
232.Dq <-
233or
234.Dq ->
235.Pc ,
236and a full duplex socket shows a double arrow
237.Pq Dq <-> .
238.Pp
239For internet sockets
240.Nm
241also attempts to print the internet address and port for the
242local end of a connection.
243If the socket is connected, it also prints the remote internet address
244and port.
245An asterisk
246.Pq Dq *
247is used to indicate an INADDR_ANY binding.

258.Sh HISTORY
259The
260.Nm
261command appeared in
262.Bx 4.3 tahoe .
263.Sh BUGS
264Since
265.Nm
266takes a snapshot of the system, it is only correct for a very short period
267of time.
268.Pp
269Moreover, because DNS resolution and YP lookups cause many file
270descriptor changes,
271.Nm
272does not attempt to translate the internet address and port numbers into
273symbolic names.
274.Pp
275Note that the
276.Fl f
277option will not list
278.Ux
279domain sockets open in the file system, because the pathnames in the sockets
280may not be absolute and are not deterministic.
281To find all the
282.Ux
283domain sockets, use
284.Nm
285to list all the sockets, and look for the ones that maybe belong in the
286file system.
