Subject: SS utility and UDP Sockets

Hello:

I apologize in advance if this isn't the right mailing list for this 
question.

I think I've found a bug in the "ss" command from the iproute2 package.

The "ss" command is not listing UDP sockets when given the "-4 -a" 
option combination. Since TCP and UDP sockets can both be IPv4, this is 
somewhat unexpected.

As you can see below, this seems to be a bug in the option parsing, as 
it works as expected when combined with the "-tu" or "-u" options. (I 
expected the output of "ss -4 -a" and "ss -tu -4 -a" to be identical.)

I'm using the "iproute2 3.6.0-2" package from Arch Linux.

Thanks!
