Question about this command output netstat -an | grep 80 | grep ESTA | wc

When I type this into ssh it outputs this netstat -an | grep 80 | grep ESTA | wc 489 2934 43521 Can anyone tell me what the first, second, and third number means? Thank you.

It's number of lines, words and characters.. use wc -l instead to see the number of established connections on port 80

Why are there 3 sets of number when I use that command? Does that mean I have 489 active connections? Not sure about the other numbers.

wc list all the 3 values if no option is supplied. Yes, the output states that you had 489 established connections at the time you executed the command.
