Not sure I understand totally what you are looking for here.
Ports 1024 and below are assigned ports. Ports above this are open and can be used. If netstat doesn't show them then they are available.

Robert,thanks for your replies. To explain more about my question, Is it possible to get free port without using logic "get used ports and from there find unused ports" .Ports 1024 and below are assigned ports. Ports above this are open and can be used. If netstat doesn't show them then they are available.
any command (say free_ports) will give me list of free ports ?
ps: It's not an urgent question for my work,just curious about such command.- Lakshmipathi.G
