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 out-
          put is in the form of an rc(1) script that could, in princi-
          ple, 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.

     FILES
          /proc/*/ns

     SOURCE
          /sys/src/cmd/ns.c

     SEE ALSO
          ps(1), proc(3), namespace(4), namespace(6)

     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.
