Silly netstat question

[Andrew Duane]

It's just a flag to indicate whether the -b flag was set on the command line.

All
 I am looking at confirming if netstat returns 32 bit counters when you call netstat -bni -I nic#

I tracked this down to the bflag variable whic is in src/usr.bin/netstat/netstat.h

 extern int      bflag;  /* show i/f total bytes in/out */

Does anyone know why this is a signed int , and not a u_long ?
