💖 Name 💖

okay so bestie, meet iptaccount(8) — the administrative utility to access xt_ACCOUNT statistics. she's not here to play games, she's here to show you the numbers. periodt. ✨

✨ Syntax ✨

iptaccount [-acfhu] [-l name]

that's it, that's the whole summoning circle. flags go in one cozy cluster, and -l name does its own little thing. 💅

🎀 Options 🎀

  • -a — list all (accounting) table names. all of them, no gatekeeping, no crumbs. 👑
  • -c — loop every second. abort with Ctrl+C when you've had enough, bestie. 🦋
  • -f — flush data after display. so it shows up, then it's gone. dramatic? yes. iconic? also yes. 💀
  • -h — free all kernel handles. experts only! no cap, this is the "do not try this at home unless you literally are the home" option. 🫶
  • -l name — show data in the accounting table called by name. yes, you get to be specific. main character energy. 🌟
  • -u — show kernel handle usage. the receipts. the vibes. the handle gossip. 🧚

🦋 See also 🦋

  • xtables-addons(8) — go read that too, bestie. it's part of the extended universe. 🌈
