nets - Enhanced Network Statistics

The nets module provides a user-friendly way to display network statistics, improving upon traditional netstat. It supports interactive views and structured data formats like CSV and TSV.

When to Activate

• When the user wants to audit active TCP/UDP connections (internet table).
• When analyzing the system's routing table in a readable format.
• When needing structured network data (CSV/TSV) for monitoring scripts.
• When performing a quick interactive overview of all network tables.

Core Principles & Rules

• Interactive Browsing: Default mode allows users to select which network table to view.
• Structured Formats: Support for --csv and --tsv for integration with other data processing tools.
• Refresh Control: Use update to ensure the table data is current.

Patterns & Examples

View Connections

# Show all active internet (TCP/UDP) connections
x nets view internet

Export Routing Table

# Output the routing table as a TSV for analysis
x nets view --tsv route

Checklist

• Confirm the specific network table (internet, route, etc.) to be viewed.
• Verify if the output needs to be structured (CSV/TSV) for automation.
