DESCRIPTION
     The gnome-nettool application is a  GTK]  front  end  for  a
     number of network client command line applications including
     ping(1M), netstat(1M), traceroute(1M),  dig(1M),  finger(1),
     whois(1)  and also showing the network interface devices and
     scanning for services. Each of these  functions  is  grouped
     into a tab on its own. When gnome-nettool is invoked without
     any option, it displays its first tab which is  showing  the
     machine's  network  devices. However, it can also be invoked
     with any one of the option above. These option can  only  be
     invoked one at a time, except the --display option.
