Discussion
This command displays status and configuration data for the active
transport, using several different output formats depending on the
keywords specified. Some of the formats are specific to the control
process, a network interface, or a specific protocol. Any entities which
are not active cannot have their status displayed.
This command differs from other NETCONTROL commands in that it
produces warnings, not errors, if transport is not active. This is often
used to determine if transport as a whole is running or not.
