Think it should be explicitly stated that it is not available on Mac OS as procfs does not support it

Readme only mentions linux, so why bother mentioning Mac OS?

cls59•3h ago

README also leads with a screenshot that has macOS window styling. So, "works on Mac" is a reasonable first impression to draw.

krunck•3h ago

There are MacOS-like themes available. Eg: https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1275087/

Nobody is questioning what themes are available on gnome. Including a screenshot of the software running in a window that very much looks like macOS X is simply misleading.

qualeed•1h ago

Before you get to that screenshot, you have to get past the big, bold sentence that says "A human-friendly alternative to netstat for socket and port monitoring on Linux.".

Linux is DEs support themes

Cause it's obviously a Rust crate, you would kinda hope that it might compile at MacOs. In 99% of cases that works.

diggan•54m ago

If a Rust crate uses anything from the OS, and doesn't mention that OS, I wouldn't expect it to work on that OS, regardless if it's Windows, Linux or macOS. Just like graphical crates state what APIs they support, and if Metal is not mentioned for example, it is most likely not supported.

You wouldn't know unless running crate install.

I use lsof -i a lot on Mac, its not that I'm criticizing, but mostly disappointed.

The title `A human-friendly alternative to netstat for socket and port monitoring on Linux` is pretty clear.

at0mic22•22m ago

Nah, homebrew made apple guys believe they get pretty much everything Linux has. Who would expect an exception?

mrweasel•2h ago

Very nice. I constantly struggle to remember the correct parameters to netstat and this seems to return the information that I need in 90% of my use cases.

Please see also `ss`

I find the output of `ss` very hard to read in comparison to netstat.

i’ve typed netstat -pna so many times in my life using something else would totally ruin me

spapas82•26m ago

I use netstat -nap instead !

Is there an option to disable the table mode (or at least horizontal lines, don't care about the others)? It's a lot of wasted space in the terminal if you have lots of connections open.
