I meant port number here, i.e.: $ sudo ss -l4pon | grep 80 > Finally, you added the -n option to ss, which means it no longer prints > service names; it prints port numbers instead.

Normally we'd use <port> or _port_ for that. Yes, you are right. I should have written it as <port>, not [port]. Sorry for the misleading comment. I was trying to say that in modern Linux netstat is not installed by default and ``ss`` is a preferred way.
