- antegamisou 4y agoThis was my exact thought too. How is it any different from it?
- dopidopHN 4y agoIt’s says on their page it’s a GUI for lsof.
- aa-jv 4y agoThere should be more GUI's for the command line tools, imho. Imagine if we could get a parsable json from the cmd line tools that allows for a standard UI to be built ..
- black3r 4y agoThere's a cli/python utility called jc, which can parse some cmd line tool outputs (including lsof) and convert them to JSON (can also convert many file formats to JSON..) https://kellyjonbrazil.github.io/jc/ https://kellyjonbrazil.github.io/jc/
- karaterobot 4y ago> Nice GUI for lsof. Yep!
- bdcravens 4y agoName probably comes from rearranging the letters (slof)
- techwizrd 4y agoI believe you're correct according to the linked Github repo: > Sloth is essentially a friendly, exploratory graphical user interface built on top of the lsof command line tool. The output of lsof is parsed and shown in a sortable, searchable outline view with all sorts of convenient additional functionality.

- wellthisisgreat 4y agoThey should have rolled with “Slof” and use the “f” as a phonetic writing of “th”
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 4y agoBSD userland has fstat. Arguably no need for lsof but I guess some people might prefer lsof.
