Without and with option -w (wider field size for displaying addresses) none

Description Slawomir Wojciech Wojtczak 2020-11-21 15:15:07 UTC 
Just an idea.

As -w option for sockstat(1) provides wider field size for displaying addresses it can also be used to increase the width of COMMAND column as process names are often cut.

% sockstat -l -4   
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN ADDRESS      
unbound  local-unbo 26332 5  udp4   127.0.0.1:53          *:*
unbound  local-unbo 26332 6  tcp4   127.0.0.1:53          *:*
root     wpa_suppli 42380 4  udp4   *:*                   *:*

Regards.

Should I close it?

No need to improve that?

Without and with option -w (wider field size for displaying addresses)

sockstat -lL -4

sockstat -lLw -4

Output from the latter could be tidier.

Output from _both_ commands could be tidier (columns in disarray) …
