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.

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

  • spapas82 2 days ago

    I use netstat -nap instead !

    How is it possible to live without aliases? Typing the original command every time, even though history lookup may help, would totally ruin me.

    I have `netstat -lntpu` aliased as `nst`. (Along with `s` as `sudo`.)

    Hey, not sure how this usually works with arch but I (the maintainer) didn't create that package but it definitely is based on this somo. Why would someone else register a package by someone else? Only bad reasons come to my mind but I don't know how things are on AUR...

Not that `ss` from iproute2 is a newer alternitive to `netstat`. (The common cli flags are the same though, so not better in that regard.)

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.

    glad you like it :)

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

    • ahepp 2 days ago

      It has some cool capabilities though

      It can show you per socket skbuf memory usage and receive buffer drops (which netstat reports globally)

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

  • Zekio 3 days ago

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

    • cls59 2 days ago

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

      • qualeed 2 days 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.".

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

        • 293984j29384 2 days ago

          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.

      • Vilian 2 days ago

        Linux is DEs support themes

    • at0mic22 2 days ago

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

      • diggan 2 days 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.

        • at0mic22 2 days ago

          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.

  • hollow64 21 hours ago

    sorry for the confusion about the macos like screenshot, I changed it to look more like Ubuntu

  • insane_dreamer 2 days ago

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

    • at0mic22 2 days ago

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