NAME
     nettop -- Display updated information about the network

SYNOPSIS
     nettop [-ncd] [-m <mode>] [-t <type>] [-s <seconds>] [-p <process-name|pid>] [-n] [-l <samples>] [-L <samples>] [-P]
	    [-j|k|J <column-name[,column-name]...>]

DESCRIPTION
     The nettop program displays a list of sockets or routes. The counts for network structures are updated periodically. While the program is
     running the following keys may be used:

     q	      Quit

     Up Arrow
	      Scroll up

     Down Arrow
	      Scroll down

     Right Arrow
	      Scroll Right

     Left Arrow
	      Scroll Left

     d	      Toggle delta output

     r	      Redraw screen

     x	      Toggle human readable numbers

     e	      Expand all

     c	      Collapse all

     h	      Bring up the help menu

     j	      Bring up the column selection menu.  In this mode you can enable/disable columns and change their order.

     p	      Bring up the process selection menu.  In this mode you can enable/disable processes for display.

     l	      Change to logging mode, redisplay the current data, and quit.

OPTIONS
     A list of flags and their descriptions:

     -m <mode>
	      Specify the mode. By default, nettop will monitor TCP and UDP sockets. The following modes are supported:

	      tcp      Only TCP sockets will be monitored

	      udp      Only UDP sockets will be monitored

	      route    Instead of sockets, the routing table will be monitored

     -t <type>
	      Specify the type of interface. By default, all interfaces will be monitored.  Multiple interface types may be specified.	The fol-
	      lowing types are supported:

	      wifi     WiFi interfaces

	      wired    Wired interfaces

	      loopback
		       Loopback interfaces

	      awdl     Apple Wireless Direct Link  interfaces

	      expensive
		       Interfaces marked as "expensive", for example via hotspot

	      undefined
		       Cases where the underlying socket is not associated with an interface

	      external
		       The combination of all defined non-loopback interfaces.

     -n       Disable address to name resolution

     -c       Less intensive use of the CPU - draws less often

     -d       Delta mode

     -x       Extended display of numbers instead of human readable suffixes such as MiB

     -P       Display per-process summary only, skipping details of open connections.  This is equivalent to selecting "Collapse All" in the
	      interactive menu.

     -s <delay>
	      Set the delay between updates to <delay> seconds.  The default delay between updates is 1 second.

     -l <samples>
	      Use  logging  mode  and  display	<samples> samples, even if standard output is a terminal.  0 is treated as infinity.  Rather than
	      redisplaying, output is periodically printed in raw form.

     -L <samples>
	      Use  logging  mode  and  display	<samples> samples, even if standard output is a terminal.  Output will be in comma-separated val-
	      ues (CSV) form.  0 is treated as infinity.  Rather than redisplaying, output is periodically printed in raw form.

     -p <process-name|pid>
	      Select a process for display.  A numeric argument identifies a process by its pid.  Alternatively a process name may be given, in
	      which case all processes with that name will be displayed.  The name must be an exact match for the name displayed by nettop, which
	      may require that the name be truncated, for example launchd.develop instead of launchd.development.  The option may be repeated to
	      select multiple processes.

     -j <column name list>
	      Specifiy a list of column headings to be included in the display. List items are separated by commas.  For example, -j uuid,rtt_var

     -J <column name list>
	      Specifiy a list of column headings that are to be the only ones included in the display. List items are separated by commas.  For
	      example, -j uuid,rtt_var.  The ordering is currently as per nettop default, but may change in future revisions to match the order of
	      the supplied column names.  For future compatibility it is recommended that any names supplied here are given an order that matches
	      the output.

     -k <column name list>
	      Specifiy a list of column headings to be excluded from the display. List items are separated by commas.  For example, -k rcv-
	      size,rtt_avg
