Python version of [zevv/lsofgraph](https://github.com/zevv/lsofgraph)

A small utility to convert Unix `lsof` output to a graph showing FIFO and UNIX interprocess communication.

Generate graph:

````shell

sudo lsof -n -F | python lsofgraph.py | dot -Tjpg > /tmp/a.jpg

    OR

sudo lsof -n -F | python lsofgraph.py | dot -T svg > /tmp/a.svg

````

or add `unflatten` to the chain for a better layout:

````shell

sudo lsof -n -F | python lsofgraph.py | unflatten -l 1 -c 6 | dot -T jpg > /tmp/a.jpg

    OR

sudo lsof -n -F | python lsofgraph.py | unflatten -l 1 -c 6 | dot -T svg > /tmp/a.svg

````

Note: In cases of handling large datasets, you might encounter a "maximum recursion depth exceeded" error. To work around this, you can increase the recursion limit in your Python environment by adding `sys.setrecursionlimit(15000)` in the `lsofgraph.py` script.

# Install and use on MacOS

Graphviz contains utilities dot and unflatten

````shell

brew install Graphviz

git clone https://github.com/akme/lsofgraph-python.git

cd lsofgraph-python

lsof -n -F | python lsofgraph.py | unflatten -l 1 -c 6 | dot -T jpg > /tmp/a.jpg && open /tmp/a.jpg

lsof -n -F | python lsofgraph.py | unflatten -l 1 -c 6 | dot -T svg > /tmp/a.jpg && open -a Safari.app '/tmp/a.svg'
