NS(1)NS(1)
NAME
ns – display name space
SYNOPSIS
ns
[
-r
] [
pid
]
DESCRIPTION
Ns
prints a representation of the file name space of the process with the named
pid,
or by default itself.
The output is in the form of an
rc(1)
script that could, in principle, recreate the name space.
The output is produced by reading and reformatting the contents of
/proc/pid/ns.
By default,
ns
rewrites the names of network data files to represent the network
address that data file is connected to, for example replacing
/net/tcp/82/data
with
tcp!123.122.121.9.
The
-r
flag suppresses this rewriting.

BUGS
The names of files printed by
ns
will be inaccurate if a file or directory it includes has been renamed.
The name of this tool is reminiscent of National Socialism and NeXTSTEP, it’s hard to decide which one is worse.
