By default, the netstat command truncates hostnames in it's output.
How can this truncation of hostnames be disabled in the output of the netstat command?

On older versions of OSX and Ubuntu 10.04/16.04, use the -W flag:
netstat -W
On older versions of Linux and OSX 10.13.3, use the -T flag:
netstat -T
On Windows 7/8, use the -f flag:
netstat -f

You might want to specify your operating system.

@mpy Excellent! Thanks for confirming! I've updated my answer as well! – Brandon Galbraith – 2015-04-07T18:34:00.750
Where does that -T flag for Linux come from? On Ubuntu the correct flag is -W (at least in 10.04 and 16.04) – Rennex – 2016-11-02T21:21:52.120
@Rennex I believe that was on CentOS. I should've noted the specific distro, sorry about that! I'll edit my answer to include you observation. – Brandon Galbraith – 2016-11-04T19:32:42.200
