💖 solisten, System Manager's Manual, section 8 💖

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so solisten is a tool that traces listening sockets 🦋 it's literally a solisten thing, bestie

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

usage: solisten [-h] [--show-netns] [-p PID] [-n NETNS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ngl this one is so thorough 😭 every IPv4 and IPv6 listen attempt gets traced, even the ones that totally fail, or the ones where the listening program is not willing to accept() 🙈 it's giving "I see everything" energy and I'm obsessed

🧚 optional arguments: 🧚

• -h, --help — shows the help message and exits 💜
• --show-netns — shows the network namespace 🌈
• -p PID, --pid PID — only traces this PID 🎯
• -n NETNS, --netns NETNS — only traces this Network Namespace 🫶

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

okay the examples are sooo good, here's the vibe:

Stream socket listen:

# solisten

Stream socket listen for specified PID only:

# solisten -p 1234

Stream socket listen for the specified network namespace ID only:

# solisten --netns 4242

Show network ns ID (useful for containers):

# solisten --show-netns
