>Description:
man 8 netstat says (in -i paragraph) that
"...if the -f address_family option (with the -s option) or the -p
protocol option is present, show per-interface statistics on all
interfaces for the specfied address_family or protocol, respectively..."
in fact it doesn't.
>How-To-Repeat:
You may use diff <(netstat -n -f inet -i) <(netstat -n -i)
and it won't give and difference hence...

>Fix:
Re-writing either netstat or it's man page. May be even them both,
cause they both are really out of sync with reality.
(for e.g., netstat -abadopt gives the "usage" and "usage" says
nothing bout -i)
