Negative values for peer inodes in ss -x output

UNIX for Beginners Q & A

Hi all,

Long time no see, love what you've done with the place!

I'm wondering how to interpret negative values for local and peer inode values for Unix sockets?

Netid  State      Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port                 Peer Address:Port
...
u_str  ESTAB      0      0      /var/run/docker.sock -1847002447           * -1846996756

Thanks, Skrynesaver

Is this the output of 'ss'? If so, can you run the following and re-share?

1) ss 
2) netstat -an 
3) ps -efl 
4) lsof 
5) docker ps -a

Thanks! It's an interesting question.
