Which parts of netstat?
`ss` displays socket information. And is more informative then netstat,
for example it shows correctly which programs(!) use a listening socket.
Compare:
+---
| # netstat -xlp | grep gpg-agent.ssh
| unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 25888 1911/systemd /run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh
| # ss -lp | grep gpg-agent.ssh
| u_str LISTEN 0 128 /run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh 25888 * 0 users:(("gpg-agent",pid=20584,fd=5),("systemd",pid=1911,fd=22))
+---
(which reminds me of `ip` vs. `ifconfig` on interfaces with multiple
IPv4 addresses. `ifconfig` will show only one of them...)
