When I used this command on Red Hat Linux/usr/sbin/ss -iI get the following output below:State       Recv-Q Send-Q                                            Local Address:Port                                                Peer Address:PortESTAB       0      0                                                    <IP_ADD:PORT>                                                  <IP_ADD:PORT>         ts sack wscale:2,2 rto:204 rtt:4.5/6.5 ato:40 cwnd:3ESTAB       0      0                                                    <IP_ADD:PORT>                                                  <IP_ADD:PORT>         ts sack wscale:2,2 rto:213 rtt:13.875/18.5 ato:40ESTAB       0      0                                                    <IP_ADD:PORT>                                                  <IP_ADD:PORT>         ts sack wscale:2,2 rto:201 rtt:1.875/0.75 ato:40ESTAB       0      0                                                    <IP_ADD:PORT>                                                 <IP_ADD:PORT>         ts sack wscale:9,2 rto:201 rtt:1.875/0.75 ato:40Whenever I try to pipe grep to that command ex:/usr/sbin/ss -i | grep <SOME_IP_ADD>I have this outputESTAB      0      0              <IP_ADD:PORT>           <IP_ADD:PORT>ESTAB      0      0              <IP_ADD:PORT>           <IP_ADD:PORT>ESTAB      0      0              <IP_ADD:PORT>           <IP_ADD:PORT>Notice that grep didn't include this:ts sack wscale:2,2 rto:204 rtt:4.5/6.5 ato:40 cwnd:3because its on another line. So how do I adjust the column width whenever I use this command or other Linux commands for that matter. So that the output will not word-wrap or go to the next line? Are their better ways of doing this? 
How to adjust column width in Linux command output

If your grep has it, try the -A1 option.It looks like it is not a case of wrapping, but that the entry is on a separate line./usr/sbin/ss -i | grep -A1 <SOME_IP_ADD>Look at Context Line Control in man grep.An alternative would be to use -P Perl-regex -z suppress-newline-o print only matchingas in:ss -i | grep -Pzo '.*IPADDRESS.*\n.*'Then you won't get the surrounding dashes which context gives.An alternative could be sed:sed -n '/IPADDRESS/{N;p}'# Or joining the two lines by:ss -i | sed -n '/IPADDRESS/N;s/\n/ /p'awk:awk '/IPADDRESS/{print; getline; print}'# Or as joined lines:awk '/IPADDRESS/{printf %s , $0; getline; print}'
