ntx_stat Command

Purpose

Displays and clears Network Terminal Accelerator (NTX) diagnostic information.

Syntax

ntx_stat [ -c ] [ -d Device ] [ -h ] [ enet ] [ icmp ] [ ip ] [ route ] [ tcp ] [ udp ]

Description

The ntx_stat command displays and clears adapter diagnostic information. This command retrieves, and optionally clears, statistics from various software modules on the adapter. To retrieve particular statistics, specify one of the following keywords:

enet	Ethernet statistics
icmp	Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) statistics
ip	Internet Protocol (IP) statistics
route	Route statistics
tcp	Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) statistics
udp	User Datagram Protocol (UDP) statistics

The ntx_stat command displays the selected statistics on the standard output device in a user-friendly display. If no statistics parameters are given, the command displays all the statistics.

Flags

-c	Clears the statistics after they are retrieved.
-d Device	Sets the adapter raw device file name. The default is the /dev/rhp0 file.
-h	Gets the file descriptor for the adapter board from standard input. This flag is only useful when running the ntx_stat command via the execve subroutine. Because of the way the shell handles redirection, command lines of the type `ntx_stat ... -h <` `device` do not work.

Exit Status

This command returns the following exit values:

0	Successful completion.
>0	An error occurred.

Security

Access Control: Any user.

Auditing Events: N/A

Examples

To retrieve the Ethernet and TCP statistics and clear them, enter:

ntx_stat -c enet tcp

Files
