.SYNOPSIS
This parses the native netstat.exe's output using the command line "netstat -anb" to find
all of the network ports in use on a local machine and all associated processes and services

Filename: Get-LocalPort.ps1
.EXAMPLE
PS> Get-LocalPort.ps1
This example will find all network ports in uses on the local computer with associated
processes and services
.EXAMPLE
PS> Get-LocalPort.ps1 | Where-Object {$_.ProcessOwner -eq 'svchost.exe'}
This example will find all network ports in use on the local computer that were opened
by the svchost.exe process.
.EXAMPLE
PS> Get-LocalPort.ps1 | Where-Object {$_.IPVersion -eq 'IPv4'}
This example will find all network ports in use on the local computer using IPv4 only.

## is defined.
