.TH tcpsnoop 1m "$Date: 2015/09/30 22:01:09 $" "USER COMMANDS" .SH NAME tcpsnoop \- snoop TCP network packets by process. Uses DTrace. .SH SYNOPSIS .B tcpsnoop [\-a|hjsvZ] [\-n name] [\-p pid] .SH DESCRIPTION This analyses TCP network packets and prints the responsible PID and UID, plus standard details such as IP address and port. This captures traffic of newly created TCP connections that were established while this program was running. It can help identify which processes is causing TCP traffic. Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command. .SH OS Solaris 10 3/05 .SH STABILITY unstable - this script uses fbt provider probes which may change for future updates of the OS, invalidating this script.
