## FreeBSD-like sockstat for macOS using libproc

### Download

See releases and [Download](https://github.com/mezantrop/sockstat/releases) a precompiled universal binary

### Build from sources

You can compile everything from sources. To install `sockstat` into `bin` directory under `/usr/local`, run:

```sh

make install clean

```

If using a custom installation path, define `PREFIX`:

```sh

make install clean PREFIX=/path/to/install

```

To build a universal binary suitable both for x64 and M-processors:

```sh

make universal install clean

```

To deinstall:

```sh

make uninstall

```

### Usage

```sh

Usage: sockstat [-46TUklnrquhv]

    -4  Show AF_INET (IPv4) sockets

    -6  Show AF_INET6 (IPv6) sockets

    -T  Show TCP protocol

    -U  Show UDP protocol

    -k  Show AF_SYSTEM (Kernel) sockets

    -n  Show AF_NDRV sockets

    -r  Show AF_ROUTE sockets

    -u  Show AF_LOCAL (UNIX) sockets

    -l  Show only LISTENing sockets

    -q  Quiet mode - suppress header

    -h  This help message

    -v  Show program version

```

Run `sockstat` as `root` to see **all**, (not only the current user's) sockets

### Performance

I do not think, performance plays here any role, but anywhy: the same good old MacBook Air late 2015, idle state.

Graphs `lsof` vs `sockstat` - the lower, the better.
