Bad naming.. WHAT(1) BSD General Commands Manual WHAT(1) NAME what -- show what versions of object modules were used to construct a file (MacOS ...)
This is in the top class of utilities (htopm etc). A good name could probably be bwtop, or tcptop or iftop. Actually I searched for these, and turns out iftop exists! ( https://linux.die.net/man/8/iftop )

My complaint about the name is that it would be hard to "google" it. This means if I don't bookmark it or remember where I found it, then a couple of years from now when my laptop needs to be rebuilt, I'll have the darndest time finding it to install it again.

#85Hey, I am the author of "what" and am very happy to hear people like this tool I made. :) "what" was my first real attempt at rust, and I love the project very much. That said, it is a hobby project - and so I will likely be a few days responding to all issues and contributions that came from this thread. "what" has already received some great contributions that are major parts of the code base. I would be very happy…

'whence' would be more specific – it's archaic in English, it means 'from where' – although it's used within the ksh shell.
zsh also implements whence
> The whence command is a Korn Shell feature that tells how a name would be interpreted by the shell: it detects commands and aliases, and searches your path.

#90Looking at how it does reverse DNS lookups to try and map backwards... is there such thing as a crowdsourced database that resolves the most common domain name(s) that resulted in a given IP address? Seems like this would be tremendously useful for any sort of network tooling, but I can’t find any references from a quick search.
