nstat 是一个简单的监视内核的 SNMP 计数器和网络接口状态的实用工具。
大多数命令行用户都熟悉 netstat ，这是 net-tools 软件包中的命令。目前新版本中 net-tools 软件包几乎完全被弃用，取而代之的是 ip 命令套件，而 nstat 属于新软件包。
nstat [OPTION] [ PATTERN [ PATTERN ] ]
-h：显示帮助信息；
-V：显示指令版本信息；
-z：转储零计数器。默认情况下不显示它们；
-r：清零历史统计；
-n：不显示任何内容，仅更新历史；
-a：显示计数器的绝对值；
-d：以守护进程模式运行并收集统计数据
-s：不更新历史；
-j：JSON格式输出。
直接输入以查询网络接口状态，以下展示了 IPv4，IPv6，TCP，UDP，ICMP 的统计数据：
