netstat is deprecated and has been for a while, you should be using ss from iproute2. Most of the commands should map directly so it's pretty drop in.

There's are more kinds of UNIX than Linux, and not all of them have deprecated perfectly functional tools.

Only on certain Linux systems is it deprecated. On the BSDs netstat is still the preferred tool.

I like ss if only for the mnemonic "ss 4chan" which sort of but not quite maps to "ss -4tan" ( https://explainshell.com/explain?cmd=ss+-4tan )

Thats glorious, gotta remember that one.

Chan is a japanese name ending for children, various communities have created several Anime mascots over the years. Theyre generally suffixed with that -tan, as a cute misspronounciation of chan.

Btw, 4tan should be that 4chan mascot. Ive seen it previously on sankaku complex, but its been too many years ago. Cant find it right now.

/Edit: i probably should mention that you shouldnt visit sankaku complex at work. Its very... Questionable with nudity

Uh ok, but ss -atpn isnt very readable on my terminal due to linewrap. Anyone with suggestions ?

    ss -atpn | column -t

Or pipe into `cat`

What is `ss`-equivalent of `netstat -atpn`?
