Looks fine!

I think I would use -W as default if stdout is not a tty, this will please users using grep on the output. But in that case we would need a multi-line flag as well... hmmm

[danrl]

I see objections to a changed default behaviour, some coming from the BSD direction (which use a different netstat) but also some from the GPL world. Most of them because of scripts parsing the output. Either way, we have to display correct IPv6 addresses in some way. Truncated output is very irritating at the moment. A multiline flag sounds reasonable to me, what do others think about this? Especially ecki?

[florianl]

A multi-line flag is a great idea. I added it in the last commit. You will find a sample of the output at https://gist.github.com/florianl/5937147

Any news?

This is still the right place to ask, isn't it? Should we have used the mailing list instead? @florianl how was your last patch integrated?

Maybe it's just the holidays and we are way too inpatient :)
