In stevecondylios/netstat: Retrieve Network Statistics Including Available TCP Ports

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)

netstat

netstat allows you to easily view which TCP ports are in use and which are free to use.

# install.packages("netstat")
library(netstat)

See which TCP ports are currently in use with ports_in_use()

ports_in_use()

Find a free TCP port using free_port()

free_port()

• free_port() returns an available TCP port from Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) listed unassigned ports.

• free_port() will not return any TCP port currently in use - so free_port() can safely be used to allocate a ports programmatically without collisions - great for automated testing or browser automation in general
