Just out of interest, why do so many people recommend lsof, which
is a port,
when sockstat/fstat are in the base system and seem to cover the
same ground?
Am I missing something about lsof?
A few weeks ago, I would have recommended lsof simply because I
wasn't aware of sockstat. It's only from reading things on this
list that I've learned about sockstat. And thanks to your message,
I've now learned about fstat.
Since learning about sockstat, I haven't used lsof, even though lsof
was one of the first things I installed from ports when I set up my
system.
I don't know if others have different reasons for recommending lsof,
but speaking for myself, I simply wouldn't have known better.
