NAME

sock_diag - obtaining information about sockets  

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <linux/sock_diag.h>
#include <linux/unix_diag.h> /* for UNIX domain sockets */
#include <linux/inet_diag.h> /* for IPv4 and IPv6 sockets */

diag_socket = socket(AF_NETLINK, socket_type, NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG);
 

DESCRIPTION

The sock_diag netlink subsystem provides a mechanism for obtaining information about sockets of various address families from the kernel. This subsystem can be used to obtain information about individual sockets or request a list of sockets.

In the request, the caller can specify additional information it would like to obtain about the socket, for example, memory information or information specific to the address family.

When requesting a list of sockets, the caller can specify filters that would be applied by the kernel to select a subset of sockets to report. For now, there is only the ability to filter sockets by state (connected, listening, and so on.)

Note that sock_diag reports only those sockets that have a name; that is, either sockets bound explicitly with bind(2) or sockets that were automatically bound to an address (e.g., by connect(2)). This is the same set of sockets that is available via /proc/net/unix, /proc/net/tcp, /proc/net/udp, and so on.  

Request

The request starts with a struct nlmsghdr header described in netlink(7) with nlmsg_type field set to SOCK_DIAG_BY_FAMILY. It is followed by a header specific to the address family that starts with a common part shared by all address families:

struct sock_diag_req {
    __u8 sdiag_family;
    __u8 sdiag_protocol; };

The fields of this structure are as follows:

sdiag_family
An address family. It should be set to the appropriate AF_* constant.
sdiag_protocol
Depends on sdiag_family. It should be set to the appropriate IPPROTO_* constant for AF_INET and AF_INET6, and to 0 otherwise.

If the nlmsg_flags field of the struct nlmsghdr header has the NLM_F_DUMP flag set, it means that a list of sockets is being requested; otherwise it is a query about an individual socket.  

Response

The response starts with a struct nlmsghdr header and is followed by an array of objects specific to the address family. The array is to be accessed with the standard NLMSG_* macros from the netlink(3) API.

Each object is the NLA (netlink attributes) list that is to be accessed with the RTA_* macros from rtnetlink(3) API.  

UNIX domain sockets

For UNIX domain sockets the request is represented in the following structure:

struct unix_diag_req {
    __u8    sdiag_family;
    __u8    sdiag_protocol;
    __u16   pad;
    __u32   udiag_states;
    __u32   udiag_ino;
    __u32   udiag_show;
    __u32   udiag_cookie[2]; };

The fields of this structure are as follows:

sdiag_family
The address family; it should be set to AF_UNIX.

sdiag_protocol

pad These fields should be set to 0.
udiag_states
This is a bit mask that defines a filter of sockets states. Only those sockets whose states are in this mask will be reported. Ignored when querying for an individual socket. Supported values are:

1 << TCP_ESTABLISHED

1 << TCP_LISTEN

udiag_ino
This is an inode number when querying for an individual socket. Ignored when querying for a list of sockets.
udiag_show
This is a set of flags defining what kind of information to report. Each requested kind of information is reported back as a netlink attribute as described below:
UDIAG_SHOW_NAME
The attribute reported in answer to this request is UNIX_DIAG_NAME. The payload associated with this attribute is the pathname to which the socket was bound (a sequence of bytes up to UNIX_PATH_MAX length).
UDIAG_SHOW_VFS
The attribute reported in answer to this request is UNIX_DIAG_VFS. The payload associated with this attribute is represented in the following structure:
struct unix_diag_vfs {

The fields of this structure are as follows:
udiag_vfs_dev
The device number of the corresponding on-disk socket inode.
udiag_vfs_ino
The inode number of the corresponding on-disk socket inode.
UDIAG_SHOW_PEER
The attribute reported in answer to this request is UNIX_DIAG_PEER. The payload associated with this attribute is a __u32 value which is the peer's inode number. This attribute is reported for connected sockets only.
UDIAG_SHOW_ICONS
The attribute reported in answer to this request is UNIX_DIAG_ICONS. The payload associated with this attribute is an array of __u32 values which are inode numbers of sockets that has passed the connect(2) call, but hasn't been processed with accept(2) yet. This attribute is reported for listening sockets only.
UDIAG_SHOW_RQLEN
The attribute reported in answer to this request is UNIX_DIAG_RQLEN. The payload associated with this attribute is represented in the following structure:
struct unix_diag_rqlen {
    __u32 udiag_rqueue;
    __u32 udiag_wqueue; };
The fields of this structure are as follows:
udiag_rqueue
For listening sockets: the number of pending connections. The length of the array associated with the UNIX_DIAG_ICONS response attribute is equal to this value.
For established sockets: the amount of data in incoming queue.
udiag_wqueue
For listening sockets: the backlog length which equals to the value passed as the second argument to listen(2).
For established sockets: the amount of memory available for sending.
UDIAG_SHOW_MEMINFO
The attribute reported in answer to this request is UNIX_DIAG_MEMINFO. The payload associated with this attribute is an array of __u32 values described below in the subsection "Socket memory information".

The following attributes are reported back without any specific request:

UNIX_DIAG_SHUTDOWN
The payload associated with this attribute is __u8 value which represents bits of shutdown(2) state.
udiag_cookie
This is an array of opaque identifiers that could be used along with udiag_ino to specify an individual socket. It is ignored when querying for a list of sockets, as well as when all its elements are set to -1.

The response to a query for UNIX domain sockets is represented as an array of

    __u8    udiag_family;
    __u8    udiag_type;
    __u8    udiag_state;
    __u8    pad;
    __u32   udiag_ino;
    __u32   udiag_cookie[2]; };

followed by netlink attributes.

The fields of this structure are as follows:

udiag_family
This field has the same meaning as in struct unix_diag_req.
udiag_type
This is set to one of SOCK_PACKET, SOCK_STREAM, or SOCK_SEQPACKET.
udiag_state
This is set to one of TCP_LISTEN or TCP_ESTABLISHED.
pad
This field is set to 0.
udiag_ino
This is the socket inode number.
udiag_cookie
This is an array of opaque identifiers that could be used in subsequent queries.
 

IPv4 and IPv6 sockets

For IPv4 and IPv6 sockets, the request is represented in the following structure:

    __be32  idiag_src[4];
    __be32  idiag_dst[4];
    __u32   idiag_if;
    __u32   idiag_cookie[2]; };

The fields of struct inet_diag_req_v2 are as follows:

sdiag_family

VERSIONS

NETLINK_INET_DIAG was introduced in Linux 2.6.14 and supported AF_INET and AF_INET6 sockets only. In Linux 3.3, it was renamed to NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG and extended to support AF_UNIX sockets.

UNIX_DIAG_MEMINFO and INET_DIAG_SKMEMINFO were introduced in Linux 3.6.  

CONFORMING TO

The NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG API is Linux-specific.
