x nets update

# List available tables
x nets ls

# View a specific table
x nets view internet

Features

  • Data Caching: Update and cache network data for faster access
  • Table View: View different network tables (internet, route, etc.)
  • Multiple Formats: TSV, CSV output for data processing
  • Interactive Mode: Interactive table selection
  • Cross-platform: Works on Linux, macOS, Windows

Commands

Command Description
x nets update Collect and cache network data
x nets ls List all available tables
x nets view <table> View table in interactive mode
x nets view --tsv <table> View table in TSV format
x nets view --csv <table> View table in CSV format

Examples

Update Data (Create Cache)

# Collect and cache all network data
x nets update

# This creates cached data in ~/.x-cmd.root/data/nets/

List Available Tables

# Show all available tables
x nets ls

# Common tables:
# - internet  : TCP/UDP connections
# - route     : Routing table
# - interface : Network interface statistics

View Tables

# Interactive mode - select table to view
x nets view

# View specific table (interactive)
x nets view internet

# View in TSV format (for scripting)
x nets view --tsv internet

# View in CSV format
x nets view --csv route

Data Processing

# Filter connections with awk
x nets view --tsv internet | awk -F'\t' '$1 == "TCP"'

# Count connections by state
x nets view --tsv internet | cut -f4 | sort | uniq -c

# Import into spreadsheet
x nets view --csv route > route.csv

Available Tables

Table Description
internet TCP/UDP connections (like netstat)
route Routing table information
interface Network interface statistics

Table Output Fields

internet table

Field Description
Protocol TCP/UDP
Local Address Local IP:port
Foreign Address Remote IP:port
State Connection state (ESTABLISHED, LISTEN, etc.)

route table

Field Description
Destination Target network
Gateway Next hop
Flags Route flags
Interface Network interface

Workflow

# 1. Update data (do this first or when data is stale)
x nets update

# 2. List available tables
x nets ls

# 3. View specific table
x nets view internet

# 4. Or process with other tools
x nets view --tsv internet | x csv sql "SELECT * WHERE State = 'ESTABLISHED'"

Platform Notes

  • Linux: Uses netstat, ss, or /proc/net data
  • macOS: Uses netstat and route commands
  • Windows: Uses netstat command

Data is cached in ~/.x-cmd.root/data/nets/latest/ for faster access.
