unix like "netstat" tool for os4, v1.1

Since begining of my os4 journey i always miss the casual "netstat" tool from unix, which i just always use with "-an" option to just see info about all tcp/udp connections and opened ports.
So at last give a go and made a full mimic of it , mean you can do same "netstat -l" , "netstat -an" , "netstat -a" all the same as on unix and it will works and outputs exactly the same.
Also support of -s were added too, and all what left is just -r and -I (to show routing and interface tables):

There are binary if anyone want it to try and report bugs:

ooo... QEMU ?
For testing software after cross compiler is perfectly suitable.

@kas1e

works frin on my SAM460ex:



If RECV:Q SEND_Q column data could be aligned plz

@kas1e
Thanks!

Its really good, yeahhhh \m/_
Thanks

Yeah, for me QEMU 10 on a notebook boots to a ready Workbench in about 15 seconds (using Pegasos2 emulation). I compile everything with a cross-compiler directly in a shared directory, which QEMU sees as a FAT stick after boot.

Sure, it's a bit annoying that you have to restart QEMU every time you want to see updated files from that shared directory, but still — cold boot of OS4 is only really fast on the Sam460 (if I remember correctly, around 15–20 seconds).
On other machines, it usually takes 30–40 seconds.

In other words, even with restarting QEMU because the FAT stick can't refresh automatically, it's still faster than waiting for a real Amiga to boot. Plus, it's just quicker to cross-compile and test everything on the same desktop — and only move to real hardware once everything is ready.

Done!

New version — likely final, unless bugs are found. Tried to mimic the original as closely as possible.

Fixed formatting issues, added -r and -i options. Adjusted handling of -n, -a, -l, and default behavior to match Unix. Some edge cases may still be missing, of course :)

And new version:

Thanks for trying !

Hi Kas1e,

Very interesting, thanks for sharing, and congratulations on this utility.

@kas1e

THXaLOt mate!!!
Good job!!!

I come from the *nix world, where dinosaurs like TRU64, IRIX, HPUX, DGUX, and ancient breeds of SunOS roamed free with all exotic CPUs like Alpha, MIPS, PA-Risc, etc. So, constantly switching between them, whenever I needed to check which network ports were open or figure out what kind of chaos was happening on the wire, I’d just run netstat -an (okay, maybe not always -an, but pretty close), and sprinkle some tcpdump on top when things got serious. And I knew netstat would be there.
It was (and still) everywhere. BSDs, Random UNIX clones, my old Cygwin setup and even on Windows now, thanks to WSL2. It’s like the cockroach of networking tools :)

Then when I switched to OS4 and… bam. Brain freeze. What’s the name of the tool again?:) So I had to do a "list c:#?net#? " just to rediscover it. Then squint at "?" help to remember what kind of different flags it wants to just show both tcp and udp ports listened, opened and used.

Sure, this little tool I made doesn’t pretend to replace ShowNetStatus (which has way more features and was written by an actual wizard). But hey, mine is fully native too and uses the mighty Roadshow API under the hood.

@Javier and others
Thanks a tick!

@kas1e

A program with the same name already exists

This one have lots of issues:

1). no options at all (it's mimic "-a" kind of output and that all)
2). support only "tcp" (so no udp)
3). by default it's print with resolved host (can be slow). So no -n option too.
4). no icmp support
5). no stastic support
6). no route support
7). no interface support

It's something very very basic, while my one full clone with only exceptions to groups (igmp).

@kas1e
Thank you so much for bringing this utility to our systems. Great work pal.

@kas1e
Nice. Can we also get the source as a network programming example?

@kas1e

Thanks for the diagnostic tool Utilitie about the information of the network interfaces, will be packed to SYS:c so that I can access it quickly if I ever need it.

And yes, it works very well and all information can be retrieved via the command option.

@kas1e

Yeah, no doubt
However maybe you can rename as "netstats" so to not conflict with others?

Btw thanks for this util

@samo79
No netstat is the name of this kind of tool on every platform. You can just think of this version as surpassing the existing one so that's now obsoleted by this.
