| Description: | R interface for the 'netstat' command line utility used to retrieve and parse commonly used network statistics, including available and in-use transmission control protocol (TCP) ports. Primers offering technical background information on the 'netstat' command line utility are available in the "Linux System Administrator's Manual" by Michael Kerrisk (2014) https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/netstat.8.html, and on the Microsoft website (2017) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/netstat. |
