ss has incorrect option parsing #76
Description
Activity
I'm used to
ss -nat(muscle memory), and it doesn't work:$ ss -nat Option "-nat" is unknown, try "ss -help".
$ ss -n -a -t | head -n1 Netid State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:PortI tried to addresses these in 1.7.3.
FYI from
man ss-x, --unix Display Unix domain sockets (alias for -f unix).So unix shouldn't be treated as
ss -u -n -i -xRe
-H, that is currently not implemented (--no-header), but this should be pretty straightforward.- added a commit that references this issue

ss(in iproute2) uses getopt_long, which is totally different from the procedural parsing thatipandbridgedo. Becausess(in this project) has parsing mostly duplicated fromip, there are several errors in cli parsing:ss -xisn't acceptedss -unixshould be parsed asss -u -n -i -x, but it's currently parsed asss --unixss -xHdon't workI'll submit a patch for this within a week or two if someone else doesn't beat me to it. I'm reporting this as both an FYI, and an explanation as to why I didn't include any changes to
ssin #74.
