        Hi all :)

        I'm trying to decode what the field in the output of
    /proc/net/tcp means, with little success. Apart from the fact that
    the four last fields have no description (and looking at undocumented
    sources is really a pain a very time-consuming), I have the following
    doubts:

        - I assume that 'sl' is the socket number, but, what does 'sl'
    stand for?
        - What represents the 'st' field?
        - I suppose that 'tr:tm->when' represents if there is any timer
    on that socket (well, 'tr' is the number of timers), and when will
    expire the nearest one, but I'm not sure.
        - I suppose that 'timeout' is the time to die when the socket is
    in FIN_WAIT state, but I'm afraid I'm wrong :(
        - Does the 'retrnsmt' field show the retransmissions happened in
    this socket?

        If anyone can explain me these fields (and the unnamed fields at
    the end) I will be very grateful, and if someone could direct me to a
    site with related information it will help, too.

        Thanks a lot in advance :)
