Oh, that is for netstat -sp ipcomp (or just netstat -s which dumps all the
various protocol counters). So maybe that DIAGNOSTICS bit could be
imporved to something like:
netstat(1) can be used to obtain some statistics about
IPComp usage, using the -s -p ipcomp arguments.
netstat -p without -s tries to print active connections so it does work
with tcp and udp but probably not much else.
