What is the Arch equivalent to netstat?

I want to use the netstat command like this 'netstat -an | grep LISTEN' to find out what processes are listening to incoming connections.  But there is no netstat on my system.  Is there a way to install it or is the proper way to use a different command?

Install net-tools

$ pkgfile netstat
core/net-tools

Some apps were deleted for these reasons:

As you were told, you can install net-tools to get netstat back. Also, you can use the program that comes by default through the package iproute2; ss.

Couple of replacements I can think of:

netstat --> ss
netstat -r --> ip route
netstat -i --> ip -s link
netstat -g --> ip maddr.

Netstat and the net-tools suite have been deprecated for quite some time now, it has been replaced by the iproute2 set of tools.

Read this to learn about the replacement commands.

I had no idea the ss command existed. On my boxen ss is an alias to 'sudo shutdown -h now'. Will have to change that.

I mapped "bye" to that.
