Re: Netstat

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

netstat has no output other than the display. And the Work with interfaces 
option of CFGTCP menu has no command equivalent. But if you are on v5r1, or 
later, there are now APIs that let you retrieve the status of interfaces, 
as well as other TCP/IP operational info. In tnis case, List Network 
Interface (QtocLstNetIfc) puts all the interface info into a user space.

You'd need to poll the status from time to time. This can be called 
(CALLPRC) from a CLLE - Service Program: QTOCNETSTS. You don't need to name 
the service program in the compile - it's included automatically.

CALLPRC    PRC('QtocLstNetIfc')          +
             PARM('X         QTEMP     ' +
                  'NIFC0100'             +
                  X'0000000000000000')

does the trick, putting the data into *USRSPC QTEMP/X. Then use the 
appropriate user space APIs to get the information. Look up CL & APIs under 
Programming in InfoCenter.
