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.
