Error: Failed to listen on network interface: No such file or directory (os error 2) on macOS. Anyone else getting this error?
"Sandbox: lsof System Policy: deny(1)"
Otherwise, really nice idea and work!
Hey, 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…
top of HN front page and without mentioning that it is written in Rust
What's that have to do with anything (it being top front page)? are there guidelines for naming posts so that the language a software is written in is preferably in the title?

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.
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 ...)
More evidence that the best names are short, pronounceable, and meaningless, like Hadoop. Git almost qualifies, except for the fact it's a pejorative, so using a really obscure or off-the-wall word is almost as good. Marketers were forced into this by trademarks, but it shouldn't take the threat of a trademark lawsuit to convince you that stepping too close to something else's toes is annoying for everyone. (And don'…
I haven't heard that word used like that, but I've only heard it to refer to the vcs.
Other similar tools:
nettop
iptraf
iftop

Every browser has book marking syncing in some capacity these days. It's the equivalent of losing contacts with a new phone in 1999.

I wouldn't recommend putting the onus on the end user to remember how to find your product. Too many assumptions.

Is there a website one can test names against? Of course you can locally but that doesn't easily cover the distros you might be thinking of targeting.
The closest (but not perfect) answer I know of is the open source project name checker (http://ivantomic.com/projects/ospnc/).
Repology (https://repology.org/projects/?search=what) can also help a bit, but it's less of a direct answer.
Looking 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.
