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?
Linux systems don't have sockstat, so people who got to FreeBSD via
Linux are used to lsof and they tend to continue using it. Same result
for those who read the many Linux howto websites.
