MAC vendor lookup: Automatic vendor identification
Suspicious entry detection: Flags potentially suspicious entries
Cross-platform: Linux, macOS, Windows support

Output Fields

Field	Description	Example
`ip`	IP address	`192.168.1.1`
`mac`	MAC address	`00:11:22:33:44:55`
`if`	Network interface	`eth0`, `en0`
`suspicious`	Suspicious flag	Yes/No
`scope`	Address scope	`link`, `global`
`type`	Entry type	`static`, `dynamic`
`vendor`	MAC vendor (if available)	`Apple, Inc.`

Commands

Command	Description
`x arp`	Auto mode: TTY→interactive, pipe→TSV
`x arp --app`	Interactive TUI view
`x arp --csv`	CSV format output
`x arp --tsv`	TSV format output
`x arp --raw`	Raw system command output
`x arp --all`	Include incomplete entries
`x arp --no-vendor`	Skip MAC vendor lookup

Examples

Basic Usage

# Interactive view (TTY)
x arp

# TSV format
x arp --tsv

# CSV format
x arp --csv

Filtering and Processing

# Find entries for specific IP
x arp --tsv | awk -F'\t' '$1 == "192.168.1.1"'

# Check for suspicious entries
x arp --tsv | grep "Yes"

# Get all entries including incomplete
x arp --all

Network Troubleshooting

# View raw ARP output
x arp --raw

# Check specific interface
x arp --tsv | grep "eth0"

Platform Notes

Linux

Uses ip neigh or arp -n
Full feature support

macOS

Uses arp -an
Full feature support

Windows

Uses arp -a
Full feature support

Security Notes

Suspicious entries: Flags entries that may indicate ARP spoofing
MAC vendor: Helps identify unknown devices on network
Use --no-vendor for faster output without network lookup
