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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

It has some cool capabilities though

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

because "Linux" != "MacOS"

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

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`.)
