                     32: .I Fstat
                     33: identifies open files.
                     34: A file is considered open if a process has it open,
                     35: if it is the working directory for a process,
                     36: or if it is an active pure text file.
                     37: If no options are specified,
                     38: .I fstat
                     39: reports on all open files.
                     40: .PP
                     41: Options:
                     42: .TP 6
                     43: .B  \-u
                     44: Report all files open by a specified user.
                     45: .TP 6
                     46: .B  \-p
                     47: Report all files open by a specified process id.
                     48: .TP 6
                     49: .B filename...
                     50: Restrict reports to the specified files.
                     51: If the file is a block special file,
                     52: .I fstat
                     53: additionally reports on any open files on that device,
                     54: treating it as a mounted file system.  
                     55: .PP
                     56: The following fields are printed
                     57: .TP 6
                     58: .B  USER
                     59: The username of the owner of the process.
                     60: .TP 6
                     61: .B CMD
                     62: The command name of the process.
                     63: .TP 6
                     64: .B PID
                     65: The process id.
                     66: .TP 6
                     67: .B FD
                     68: The file number in the per-process open file table.  The special
                     69: names "text" and "wd" mean that the file is the pure text inode
                     70: or the working directory for the process.  If the file number is
                     71: followed by an asterick (*), then the file is not an inode, but
                     72: either a socket, fifo, or has an error of some kind. In this case
                     73: the rest of the entry is variable format, doesn't correspond
                     74: to the rest of the
                     75: headings, and is
                     76: enclosed in parenthesis.
                     77: The following paragraph describing sockets will explain the
                     78: variable format.
                     79: .TP 6
                     80: .B DEVICE
                     81: Major minor number of the device this file exists on.
                     82: .TP 6
                     83: .B INODE
                     84: The inode number of the file.
                     85: .TP 6
                     86: .B SIZE
                     87: The size in bytes of the file.
                     88: .TP 6
                     89: .B TYPE
                     90: The type of the file. (see sys/file.h)
                     91: .PP
                     92: Sockets
                     93: .sp1 6
                     94: The formating of open sockets depends on the protocol domain.  In
                     95: all cases the first field is the domain name, the second field
                     96: is the socket type (stream, dgram, etc), and the third is the socket
                     97: flags field (in hex).  The remaining fields are protocol dependent.  For tcp,
                     98: it is the address of the tcpcb, and for udp,
                     99: the inpcb (socket pcb).  For unix domain sockets, its the address of the socket
                    100: pcb and the address of the connected pcb (if connected).  Otherwise
                    101: the protocol number and address of the socket itself are printed. The
                    102: idea is not to duplicate netstat, but to make available enough
                    103: information for further analysis.  For example, the addresses mentioned
                    104: above are the addresses which the "netstat -A" command would print for
                    105: tcp, udp, and unixdomain.  Note that since pipe(2) is implemented
                    106: with sockets, a pipe appears as a connected unix domain stream socket.
                    107: A unidirectional unix domain socket indicates the direction of
                    108: flow with an arrow ("<-" or "->"), and a full duplex socket shows
                    109: a double arrow ("<->").
                    110: .dt
                    111: .SH BUGS
                    112: Socket information clutters the output.
                    113: .PP
                    114: Since \fIfstat\fP takes a snapshot of the system, it is only correct for
                    115: a very short period of time.
                    116: .SH "SEE ALSO"
                    117: ps(1), pstat(8)
